I always thought ez outs were like spinner baits, people claim they work
but never met anyone who could verify that they did. I've got the weirdest
broken bolt that I am going to try to get out. Its a stud on the flange of
the catalytic converter. Its sticking out about 3/16 of an inch and seems
to be broken inside the flange. I can see that the part sticking out will
turn a little but looking at it from the back the stud is not turning. No
amount of heat or PB Blaster has worked, so I have no other choice but to
try the EZ Out.
