I'm going to try that rescue bit. Majority of comments on it were very good. Expensive for what it is but if it works, 50 ain't bad. I'll report back on my success or failure with it.

The Rescue Bit is not unique. It is just a good quality carbide burr.
Buy a set of Carbide burrs and a set of Left Hand Cobalt drill bits for the same money and have a more versatile arsenal of weapons? For example:

Too late. Damm.
This is what happens when I am trying fix things before my wife finds out. "Why do you keep fixing an unbroken car". Ugh.

Next time, thanks

Easy out is gone. A bit weary of trying another. When I was at the auto part store the other day they had a kit for re threading a 6mm hole. Seem to use a drill, then a tap to thread the hole and then am insert you screw into the tapped hole. 6mm bolt then gets screwed in. Do those sets work?

Thanks. When you say cutting oil, will wd-40 work if I can't find specific cutting oil?
