ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!
E Z outs are a very HARD steel. You will need a good hardened bit to drill it out.
Next time just drill out the soft steel bolt and don't risk breaking the easy out. Remember HeliCoils are your friend easy outs are not. Just be glad you didn't break the EZ out off in Aluminum, Then the bit just walks off and drills out the Aluminum. You will want to try and center punch the EZ out to get the bit started straight. Good luck I hate small EZ outs.
Great thread as well.
Just my .02
Hey Cope,
Thanks for the shout out!
I will remember that. I had easyouts but no helicash till Tuesday!
I,ve never done them. I've watched before though.
Had a buddie of mine was supposed to do the 2 broken studs, but I just got tired of waiting.
I should have waited.
But am sorta used to people not showing up, and sense it has been 10 days (Taken off 11.5.9 in this thread) now that we have had these off, I just felt, OK, it's time, even if I "F" it up! I'm not waiting on anyone else any longer!
So I got one out now and I need to buy a hardened bit and a helicoil kit??
Is there a tool for install? Anything I need to be aware of?
Well, come Tuesdays mail, I'll be off to the bank & helistore!
Yeah, I may have broke the easy out, but I got the front one out, and thats the one I originally broke. The back was broke when I got it! LOL!!!
That's where I left it for today!!!
Have a good one Cope and thanks for givin me the heads up, I know nothing about mechanics but love to paint!!:love7:
