Wes,
this is well meaning advice but, I implore you not to take it. I have never
seen an
easy-out work on anything except non rusty metal. Take the advice of the
nut and MIG-welder, it works. Take it to a mechanic if you must as it
should not cost much as it does not take too long. Those easy-outs are
hardened and when you break one off in the bolt you will not be a happy
camper. Good luck
