Problem #37, E-Manifold bolt broke in head

[molitor]

i'm a machinist and i have literally done over 200 bolts this exact same way in this year alone. it works awesome though it is a little time consuming it beats the hell out of paying for the helicoil kit if you just drill the threads out. i make alot of money off of people that break taps, drills, and ease-outs. so do it right, be patient and just be careful, you'll be amazed at how easy it is once you get started. you can buy the burr at most equipment shops, a stone and a dremel wont last long

So true about the dremel stone.

Sometimes you can take a pick or sharp punch and hit the edges of the easy out and knock the taper loose. It's best to just go ahead and pull the head and work on it on a bench or table once you've gotten yourself into this predicament, that or just live with a leak.
