How do you remove a broken easy out? I've got one in engine block. Also, why are they called easy outs? I've called them many names but never easy outs.

I have had the same problem countless times. If ever a tool was badly named !!!! There must be a better way. Suggestions please.

I quit using easy outs years ago and started using a left hand drill bit and left hand thread taps. Some times the left drill bit will remove broken bolt by it's self, if it does'nt, then I tap the hole left hand threaded, take 3-4" bolt with a nut screwed up on to it, screw bolt in about 2", run nut down against broken bolt & lock it down, now just turn the bolt you just added. It will screw out the broke one every time I have tried for about 10-12 years. I hope this helps, good luck to you. Jerry
Oh yeah, you can find the bits and taps and hardened bolts at a machine supply place, is where I get mine. They may seem expensive to some but I have saved some very delicate parts by doing like this, just use bit and all about 2 sizes smaller than broken bolt. See ya folks.

I like it! I've used the left handed drill bits but not the left threaded taps/bolts. I will try that. Thanks!

If the part is small enought(head or similiar size) you can take to well equiped machine shop. They have a machine that pulverizes the bolt and/or easy out. Itdoesn't hurt threads either. This is an expensive process, however. The machine works by a beam or something,but its really slick.

Had a broken thermostat, bought a new one, and I broke the bolt off in the head, then I bought some easy out, and broke it off in the bolt. What do I do, What can I do?? I have been told not to try and drill the easy out for it is undrillable, and can mess up the engine.
Please respond Very Soon,
Thanks Mitch

I usually weld a flatwasher to the top of the broken piece (bolt,tap,easyout,etc.) the weld a nut to the washer. let it cool completely and screw it out with your fingers.

don't know if engine block is in use or not...didn't say about where the ease out is at but if you are good enought with a torch you can blow the metal out of the cast engine block without hurting the threads in the block have done this a lot of times...must tap hole after blowing metal out...have messed up a few tips when there are no open ends on the broken bolt hole....usually drill shall hole first and then burn out metal....hope this helps..have nice day

I have heard of using a die grinder or a Dremel
with a thin cutoff blade and very carefuly cut a
screwdriver slot in end of the easy out.
Of course if it's broke off down in to far this
won't work very good. The post below sounded like a good idea too.
If you can get down around it with a bigger hole
just retap for a bigger size bolt or helicoil.
Gotta have patience and a bit of luck.

As oops said... Anyway, if it is not too large an easyout, you sometimes can drill around it enough to loosen it. Sometimes even a spotweld cutter (looks like a small hole saw with a drill works. Other than that, hammer, chisle + time...
