Just a quick question to anyone that has had this happen to them. I am putting in the 11v plugs from the RD28eti engine into the RD28T (which has 6v multistage glow plugs standard), and i snapped one off when trying to remove it. has anyone got any tips for removing this without damaging the head?
Picture Below.
Thanks in advance
Greg

i've got no problem with the heat, but how do i get a grip of it?
Thanks, i get it now, the "easy out" is a screw remover. Sorry for the thick headed response.
Ann easy out requires you to drill the right size hole for the easy out then insert the easy out. these can be a wedge shape or left hand threaded looking bolt, as you unwind the snapped bolt (gripping the easy out) the easy out tightens in the bolt SOMEONE HELP ME EXPLAIN CLEARER :-)
OOPS im too late :-)

yes, thanks. I re-read the post and found the odd wording - "easy out" - googled it and found what it is. I'll swing past repco tomorrow and find one - thanks again.
They normally come in a small set & take my adivce here " don't go for a cheap set" (I find Repco tools quite good myself) & take your time doing the job cos these things are tooling steel & if you snap one off, its all over red rover....If you get my drift.
Defenition of EASY-OUT: A tool you break when removing broken bolts or screw. Also impossible to drill.
Sorry, I couldnt resist. Broken anythings are a pain. I hope it comes easily for you Greg. Good luck.
