ive got a broken bolt in the exhaust manifold which just wont come out. and 1 in where u bolt the tensioner into the front of the block. ive tried easyouts and smashing a screwdriver bit in and turning that. i need em out tomorrow or by the weeked. ive got 50-100 dollars here for some1 to get em out. even if u get em out in 1 minute u get 50 dollars. or does any1 have a phone number for a thread doctor or specialist coz i couldnt find 1 in the phone book. im in pine rivers, il pay u on the spot oncew there out.

are screw extractors easyouts? i used easyouts and the thread on em just rounds off.they dont even grip to start turning the bolts out. also tried using a allen key drill bit smashed into a drilled out hole but there in so tight. if there that easy to get out come and do it and get 50dollars on the spot. the bolts that are snapped off are bloddy tight.
