[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 367547, member: 432"] Ouch! I hate drilling holes in body parts. It hurts. If the easy-out is broke off in the old nipple it is going to be a bear to remove it. If you can get the broke off easy-out out of the nipple you could try drilling a larger hole in the nipple and using a larger easy-out. If the nipple is press fitted into the housing you could try to drill the housing with a slightly smaller bit than the press fit tube on the nipple then press it into the housing. [/QUOTE]
