Crank plugs (broken tap)

[falzsf at mts.net (shawn f)]

Awesome man, i first tried a cobalt drill bit and that wouldn't touch the
tap. I trioed using the carbid tips and it worked great. There is still i
little peice at the bottom i am tring to get out. Since i don't want it
coming lose while the engine is running! I tried putting the plus in and it
fits so i am lucky i got it out! Thanks for the idea worked great.
