redbull ive read the thread ive read every ****ing page on goggle on broken ez outs
i even bought this **** called tap out which has this acid that only eats steel and not aluminum but it doesnt work. Ive tried heating it up and trying to break it up.
i'll take pics right now

 

thats not really the best way to ask for help. so . . . sorry bout ur luck.

 

 

Plus the fact that you bumped your own thread within 20 mins of posting it. Seriously dude people don't sit around all day on the computer just waiting to answer people's questions on honda tech. That said, pics like said above will help anyone who CAN help you a lot. Did you try using some vise grips to turn the ez out dealyo?

 

If all else fails, take it to a machine shop.

 

you will have to take that to a machine shop and have them take it out

 

Had the same thing happen to me...

I ended up using a dremel and the smallest attachment I could find. I started dremeling out the bolt, and about 5 minutes into it, the dremel tip caught a big chunk of the easy-out and the whole thing spun out like it was getting unscrewed...easy-out still broken/jammed into what was left.

 

any other ideas?

 

use a carbide drill bit or carbide burr to get through that easy out... clearance may be a bitch though.

btw - bahahahahahaha roflmao
