If things like so-called easy outs, etc. , are useless, why to they keep on making and selling them? I've a set of Lisle screw extractors, which look like they should work if you follow the instructions and have ideal conditions but I haven't yet had a chance to use them in earnest.
I once tried JB Weld to patch the rad on my Land Rover, which worked, but it didn't work when I tried to patch the leak in one of the radiators in my house.

That advice about sandblasting seems like a good idea. I got a bench-top cabinet for the small stuff, though.

Just getting myself all set up in my posh rented garage workshop, now trying to get the engine out, but it still seems a bit balky, like it's hung up on the drive flange or something.
