I bet you could fit a socket on the top of it, if not im more the likely a Cresant wrench and just twist it out. Didnt it come with instructions?

When you get a bolt stuck in something and cant get it out you could use this tool and it helps you take it out. Kind of like drilling the broken bolt out.

Its a drill bit with reverse thread to take out stripped bolts/screws.

As for how to use them, drill the correct size whole with a regular drill bit according to the chart that comes with the easy out. Drill in the center of the bolt straight in. Then use the easy out drill bit with the drill put in the reverse direction to loosen the bolt. Thats how I did it. Hope this helps!

ONE word. SHOP&gt; let the professional do it. Yes I tried that tool on my suspension bolt on my other civic that I sold...wasted a lot of time and money. ..so do yourself a favor...go to the shop..let the professional do it.

or for the easy bolts...what I do is drill/make a deep like and use a flat head screw driver and twist that bisch out (for non-rusted bolts.. )

A socket or extension doesn't work? If not use vice grips on the end.

no, no. Don't use a drill/driver, socket or a vise-grip plier. None of those are the right tool. The correct tool is called a Tap Handle or Tap Wrench. It has a special cut out that clamps onto the square end of the easy-out. It's the same tool you would use to hold a tap when tapping a hole. Sears sells them and any machinest supply store. There are a couple different sizes so make sure you buy the one that fits the tap ot easy-out your using.

As for how to use it. You drill the correct size hole for the easy-out your using and then use the easy-out in the same manner your would a normal tap, just turn it the opposite way. The easy-out will screw itself into the hole partway and then then stop, cause the screw to now turn and back out of the hole. Just make sure you don't break that easy-out, it will makes thing even worse if you do.

Hope this helps.

Edit:
Here's a picture off of the Craftsman website. It can be found under Mechanics Tools then under Tap & Dies. There is a lot of sets but you will see a couple listed on like the second page if I remember correctly.

sorry to hear that, I was afraid that might happen. Look in your phone book for any auto part stores that have a machine shop (not real likely though) or look for just any regular machine shop. Any machine shop should be able to remove it. If you can't find a machine shop in the phone book try calling a parts store and ask them if they can recommend a good machine shop. You could probably call one of your local machanics and ask them where they take their machine shop work to. As for cost, it probably going to depend on how hard it is for them to remove. If they break two drill bits doing it they might charge you more than if they didn't break any. But your probably looking at about $20-30, don't quote me on that it's just a quess. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

true that. you definently can't use the easy out with a drill gun. all it is going to do it rip up the metal of the bolt. pretty much the easy out is gonna most likely **** a little to one side of the bolt, they it is gonna grab. I use them as the bike shop all the time.
