The EZ out is for unscrewing a threaded connection, I've spent a
bunch of time with those only to have the EZ out break off in there
too. Then you've got a real mess of hardened tool steel.<br>
<br>
I would first drill several small 1/8" holes in the lead around the
circumference of the bolt. Then, I think tapping or pressing it out
is the way. The wheel puller would probably work. You'll end up
with an enlarged hole that you can either use a bigger bolt, or
washers to deal with. <br>
<br>
I agree some of the hardware that comes with cheaper L 16s, is
inferior. I've had plenty of those square heads come off with
minimal torque.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Do any of you battery gurus have a suggestion for
a method of removing a bolt remnant that is corroded into a
flag terminal. Both sides snapped off flush with the flag.
I was thinking try to drill it out or maybe a small gear
pulling tool? I will never again use the non stainless
hardware supplied by the manufacturer...</p>
