: its actually on my engine and i have tried using using a flathead screw driver and a drill and i can not get it out. It broke off inside flush and is about 3/4" deep. any advice to get it out would be very appreciated, for this is the biggest headache i have ever had. thanks :I don't know what size thread you have maybe they make an "easy-out" tool that big. They are for broken bolts- you drill them out insert tool and the swirl on the bit tightens as you back out the broken stub. In this case you wont need to drill-Rent one? thats all I got.--Ben Ther
