Get yourself a can of PB Blaster, about
3.49 at WALMART, 3.99 at
Advance Auto Parts. Much, much better than
liquid wrench. If it dosnt work, a little careful
application of flame wrench will almost always get it.
I just use a propane torch to get surrounding area
red hot, expand around the fastener. (Do not use
this method on high strength parts that may have
been heat treated.)
BTW, on easy outs, that is the worst name possible
for these things. They should be called
1. Last chance
2. Oh #%@**
3. No Way
4. Good Luck
the worst possible thing, of course, is to break off
the very hard special steel easy out in the hole, so
that your drill bit goes dull in about 3 seconds.........
Good Luck!

Hello out there,
I have just succeded in smashing the world record in breaking the heads off
of bolts holding the front quarter panels to the door frames. Also, the pan
head bolts were impossible to break loose. The phillips head would just
strip out. So...I drilled out the heads on the suckers and the rest just
fell off the back side. No damage to the roadster and one less fastener to
deal with.
Back to the bolt heads that busted off. Normally, I would just drill out
the sucker and use an extractor (that screws in backwards) to back out the
length remaining in the frame. I suspect that others have delt with this
problem and have learned a few tricks. Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.
Warm regards
