[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 15298019, member: 10912"] First time I've ever heard of this happening. It has a Heli-Coil Save-A-Thread on it, which is why I'm trying to remove it so I can install a Time-Sert. But it's too far down into the head to get the socket on it to remove. I'm assuming I somehow managed to smack the Heli-Coil insert down into the head....or somehow twisted it in too far. Either way, I can't get it out. Tried long needle nose pliers, but no luck. [B]Any suggestions on how to remove it? [/B] Seems my only option is to break the porcelain and then extract the rest out. Before doing that, I'm going to try and find tubing that is sturdy and will fit tightly over the porcelain and then try to twist it out that way. [/QUOTE]
