Hi, Be careful with the easy-out, if you use too big a one, you could expand the soft brass, and make it harder to come out. A reverse drill bit will sometimes grab it, and just spin it out. Another method, would be to cut a slot in it, with a dremel tool, and screw it out. A screwdriver with a couple of points ground in it, will sometimes work as well. Regards, John M.
