Easy out for an easy out?
« on: August 02, 2009, 04:08:26 PM »
Trying to remove the stripped Torx bolts from the top of the windshield frame. They were stripped when I got it, so my next move was to try and drill them out. Got a nice hole down the middle of the bolt, but it did not break it loose.

Bought a set of easy outs. Promptly broke two of them off in the holes. Not sure what the next step is. I dont have any bits that will drill out an easy out.

What kind of a nuclear missle strike were they anticipating when they went with this design?

What can I do or where can I take this thing to get my problem solved?

They will ussually break into pieces if you smash the crap out of it with a center punch
