RE: [DML] Just installed new water pump

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a question to the group: Has anyone *ever* had success with an 
"easy-out"????

I ask that with tongue in cheek, of course. In fact, I HAVE occasionally had 
success with them, but it is usually a NEXT-to-last resort, with the LAST 
resort usually being drilling/grinding/blasting the broken easy-out along 
with the remains of the brokem bolt itself. Wheoever named those things 
"easy-outs" should be shot!  ;)
