There’s nothing there to weld a nut to. I have used some souped up drill bits and have yet to cut a shaving off the eze out. Yesterday I got a drill bit from one of our MRO’s that he said would drill it with no problems. Again, not one shaving cut. The only other option for drill bits that I have is one made from pure Carbide. I can get one, but I have to imagine that it will snap being used in a hand drill.

I heated the eze out, and subsequently a portion of the end of the spindle with a torch until it was cherry red then tried to drill it. Still no luck.

Anyone got any idea how to get this son of a buck out?

This crap is important. It’s on my boat trailer


EDM tap remover. It will cut a path the size of whatever brass electrode you use, that will relieve the pressure on the threads and your next ez out should be able to remove it easily.
