a tip for using s i call them easy outs or screw extractors never drill all the wa through the bolt or screw if u do when u hammer the easy out in it pushed the threads out locking the bolt tighter.
@syphilistic yeah I fucked it up.I drilled it through and the extractor worried me, I couldn't break it loose, so I backed out the ez out. I tapped a square punch in and broke it off. I am having the local shop tow it in and the guy says he is sure he can get it out, so im biting the bullet. Its my fault, I threw my temper tantrum, smashed a glass, and now I know it will get fixed. i should have replaced the bolt a couple of years ago, and I especially should have drove it to the mechanic B4 now
Also to the video poster they do make tap sockets so you don't need to jury rig a wrench in there like that. They're basically a standard socket with a square head rather than a hex to drive taps.
@marvintheboon You could always just drill it out and helicoil it. It will be alot easier than monkeying around with the threads and risking further damage to the parts.
i have an extractor dug into the shaft and it is not breaking loose. i sprayed pB blaster on it and let it sit over nite. my part is still on the truck so i'm doing this on my back. i'm worried about breaking the extractor off in the bolt. i will have to progressively drill bigger untill i can collapse the bolt and pull it out in pieces, not wrecking the threads on the oil pan. i have nevr seen a bolt this frozen in over 40 years of mechanics.
