1. penetrating oil
2. tap the broken plug (with broken easyout attached) with a screwdriver a few times to get the oil to settle in
3. pray to god. No, not really.
4. try to see if you can file/drill a slit into the broken easy out so you can use a flathead to unscrew it.
next time remember to use lube.

and only thing in praying for is the strength to NOT murder my bf 😂😠.... I don't care so much about going back to prison lol.... but he is most def NEVER touching my car AGAIN .... this isn't the first thing he's "fixed" and made worse and costing more money.... ughhh I'll update after praying and attemting this fix.... thanx again
If that doesn't work, you will have to pull the cylinder head and take it to a machine shop to be removed. Good luck.
That is what I'm trying to not have to do :/ nice weather out this morning .... question. .. so since the ez out basically never even budged when I put it in to take the threads out maybe if I remove rocker arm I can get close enough with some needle nose pliers and hopefully turn the ez out clockwise instead of counter and at least get that out... could that work?
