The trick seems to be to drill that sucker out as much as possible. That is, use the biggest easy out. Removing the metal from the center of the bolt/stud takes some of the pressure off of the threads. The more you remove the better. Of course, be careful not to drill out the threads themselves. Also, use gobs of liquid wrench or similar. You knew that. Jim -- James A.
