if it won't come out with an ezyout you may need to redrill and tap it to fit a thread insert

Sorry I missed this mate..... how did it go? You got it out yet?Got it after 3 hours lucky when i took thermo housing off there was about 5mm of the bolt showing so i thought easy (NOT) gave it a few sharp hits, heaps of CRC and multigrips and didn't budge, so got the oxy on to it for a few seconds and it mooved a little with the multigrips but stuck again. So welded a nut on it and with the heat from the weld and the nut it came straight out!! Got a newy from nissan, Put new water pump, thermo housing,thermostat, hoses, overflow bottle and radiator and all sweet, ready for my trip to yalata SA - WA Border to get me a big mulloway.!!!!
