Taps can be an exceptional helpfull, and I do suggest using them if reverse drilling doesn't work. For clarification, a tap is used by twisting/turning it into a pre-drilled hole and thus cuts new threads into the work material. You don't actually "tap" it in with a hammer, however an Easy-Out is tapped in with a hammer. A die is usually used for correcting damaged threads and they typicall look like a large nut with another hole drilled through the center (with three slices in the side of the threaded section for the shavings to accumulate).

Just last week I was on a security team at the Muskegon Air Fare (the largest air fare in the world) and there were a few C130s there. Are you USAF, Navy, etc? The highlight of my weekend was being invited to go up top of the C-5 Galaxy.

God bless,
Fitz Fitzgerald.
