Not Photo Shopped

[Ellis Kinney]

This is an actual photo of an easy out that was used successfully. I busted off the drain plug even with the bottom of the oil pan on a Farmall M tractor, turning an easy job into an all day project. I removed the pan, drilled the plug, applied heat and used an easy out. I know some will doubt this picture. Ellis

Heat is the secret.

I have both square and spiral easy outs, and have success with both (not too sure about the easy part of the name) Good that it came out. Jim

I believe you.

I have the spiral ones and square tapered ones but like my Snap On ones the best because they don't expand the broken bolt making it tighter.

I've got that set...........absolutley love it, but still hate to have to use it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it would come out easy.

Once the head broke off it relieved the pressure on the threads.

I have the same set also. Works great. The only problem has been the plastic case. The cover broke off.--------------------Loren

I have that type, the one thing I don't like is that you can't back them out if you realize it's stuck too hard for an ez out

Have you tried clamping a set of vise grips up a little bit on the shaft. Then place a bar or socket under the vise grips against the surface that the part you're trying to extact is attached and applying pressure.

It's alaways a good feeling when it works.A trick that my father taught me was to use a torches and heat the plug hot then take the heat away and put bees wax on the plug.As it cools the bees wax will suck into the threads.Once cooled will turn out easy.If it doesn't turn out easy,then repeat.Has alaways worked for me.

I learned long ago, if I'm gonna apply heat, it may as well be with a welder to stick a nut on so I don't need to mess with easy outs!
