Unfortunately the bolt snapped off pretty flush and it snapped off on while reinstalling water pump then ezout snapped due to being impatient on my part.
I've picked up some 1/8 " carbide burrs as per a suggestion by another member and give it a try, see if I can't hog out enough room to wiggle ezout.
As I was leaving my local auto parts store the manager said wait a minute and he pulled down a small dusty rack off a top shelf and said he knows some guys who have had pretty good luck with a product from Helicoil and it's an ezout extractor it has like a tiny broach style cutter on one end and a stubby little like 1/4" extractor on the other end. Basically you drill in left handed and then thread in other end and back out ezout...... Well that's what it claims I'm going to try that next.
Just in case......Happy Birthday Richard. .
