no its actually broke off and its not even flush. its IN the jug. when my dad took the easy out to it it looks like it threaded somewhat out but its still inside the jug. im still somewhat curious as to how it could break off and be inside the jug like it did.  |

Alright,
its clear that its in there good, but there is something you can do to loosen things up...Take a propane torch and heat the stud and jug area up allot...Then with a smaller easy out, drill into the previous easy out, it that works it should either pull the first one out or pull both broken stud and easy-out out. From there, you'll either have fixed the problem or still have just the stud left if it ended up pulling the original easy-out out. Now, heat it up again, then drill into the stud with a larger sized easy out, then start moving that stud on out. Hope this helps, see what you can do.

ya that sounds like the best thing to try, and if all else fails, you have to drill the whole thing out and re thread it, then just put another treaded bolt in and your set. Dont worry there is always a way to fix it!

Sounds like most of your problem is that the easy out is of hardened steel. They are about the same hardness as drill bits, so you're pretty hard pressed to drill them out. Future reference.... never buy cheap easy outs. I only use Snap On easy outs. As for the drill bits you're using... you need to find an expensive (means quality) name brand bit of hardened steel. Realize, HSS (high speed steel) bits are only good for about 700 rpm's. Drill slow, use lots of cutting oil (or WD-40) to keep the bit cool. Heat destroys drill bits. You may have to sharpen it a couple times. Just drill a hole big enough to get a high quality easy out in there, and take it slow. I'd also spray the offending bolt with liquid wrench (PB Blaster works much better) and let it sit for a while before trying to use the easy out. Good luck.  |

My advice, some things are too tight for easy outs, since that is an area of heat, it's likely to be stuck without a hope of getting it out, We had a brake caliper in our shop the other day my welding teacher was trying to drill out the bleeder for his race car, it absolutely wouldnt come out, we also broke off an easy out, redrilled and still couldnt get the other easy out to pull it. We just threw it on our drillpress and drilled it all out and tapped the hole new... That'd probably just be your best bet, retap it. Screw a whole lot of messin with easy outs, just drill it smaller, then run a tap thru it, spray some lube thru to get the shavings out and have another stud put it. It's easier in my opinion.

at the moment i just bought a trenga/lrd exhaust system and i was so eager to get it on so of course like it states in the instructions to stick the exhaust manifold(flange) over the 2 studs on the cylinder and tighten them down. well i did that when i did the one stud broke off. i about crapped seriously. it was serious enough already because the stud was stuck into the the cylinder where it threads into it. well i recieved some advice on a device called an easy out which threads into the actual stud and is turned counterclockwise to actually screw out the stud. well my dad did this one night without me knowing it and now he has broken the easy out bit off into the stud that was broken off 
so the past week i have been trying desperately to someway srill through a drill bit and i have made almost no progress 
it is saddening because i cannot think of a way to fix the problem now. i cant ride unless this is fixed so i am begging for your help at the mometn on trying to get this fixed
