Are you able to take the fly wheel in to your local machine shop, most have Carbide cutters that will beable to remove bolt and easy out without to much trouble

why wouldnt you replace the crank seal while the gearbox is on. Im not talking about getting the crank glowing red hot only hot enough to break down the thread lock. I have drilled out a few broken easy outs and drill bits with tungsten drill bits and i wouldnt be suprised if the broken easy out is just a cheap crap one from super cheap. The flywheel bolt holes do not go right through the flywheel flange on rb engines

OK, rus1111, you definately need to get the metric version of this http://tinyurl.com/3e6t3fh Be a lot cheaper than taking it to a machine shop.

Drill it and use a easy-out. A good easy-out only has 4 sides and not as twisted as the shyt sets sold at the likes of repco.
Or use a hammer and a pin punch and unscrew it.

Easy out, the most misnamed tool ever invented!
hey rus111, you do realise those buggers are having you on about the special tool!

Why do you say that!- it'd have been the perfect tool for the job.

If he had one of those tools he would have the snapped bolt out by now, and the car back together, and probably exiting mc'ds with a happy meal.
