Question 1

what is the drive type?

Accepted Answer

As KREX indicated, the easy outs in this set have a square drive at one end.  A tap wrench would be the preferred tool to drive them, but the size/type/amount of space in which to work will determine which kind you can use.  If you're in a large open area with no nearby obstructions to hinder turning it, you can use a full-sized tap wrench.   If space is restricted (which is more common), you may need to use a small T-handle tap wrench.  This latter type also is available with a ratcheting mechanism if you want that.  I'm not fond of using an adjustable wrench; you give up some control and they're difficult to turn if space is limited, but if that's all you have at the time, use that.  The T-handle is preferred as it can center all of the operator's force directly downward on the work at hand.  Tap sockets are another good option when space is limited; they usually come as 1/4"- or 3/8"-drive for use with a ratchet.  Depending on space, you may also need an extension to turn the easy-out.  In a pinch, you could also use a 12-point socket that fits onto the easy-out's square drive.

Question 3

Will this help to remove an ngk c6hsa sprak plug that snapped on a motorcyle?

Accepted Answer

I am not familiar with the ngk c6hsa spark plug but I bought this set to pull a 496018S spark plug from a Briggs and Stratton. It worked well.

Question 4

i have a bolt that is probably 1/4 wide that has snapped off. will this work? Can i drill a starter hole?

Accepted Answer

all easy outs have to have a hole so they are able to grip the broken shaft. It is real important to make sure you make a sharp punch in the center of the broken bolt. You have to drill the hole in the exact center. The easy out should be slightly larger than the tip of he bit but allow the bit to catch at least an eighth of an inch before it bottoms out.
