"Matco, Snapon, Mac all sell a 'left-hand' drill set that comes with ez outs"

Yea and I bet he has a couple hundred bucks just laying around that he can waste on a snapon drill set. Dem tools aint cheap.

Ive personally never had ANY luck with bolt extracter kits, the kind you drill a pilot hole and then start turning the extracter counterclockwise into the pilot hole. A $60 bolt extractor kit from napa did not help me. The only thing that did work for me for broken bolts was drilling the whole bolt out and tapping a larger hole for a larger bolt.

Using a center punch is a must when drilling. If you dont you are a hack.

Just trying to help with experience Ive had.

Edit: Hmmmm lets see whats harder/more money/time consuming to do, take off 4 nuts, fan and shroud? Or Radiator, upper and lower hoses, (if automatic) tranny lines, 10 qts of coolant, then bleeding the coolant system.... Yea ill take the fan off anyday. LOL
