oil drain plug stripped need help asap

[Sberk06]

alright so my oil drain plug is stripped now and i've been putting it off but im at like 5k since my last change and im really in need of it, i want to try my fully synthetic... ive tried getting it off with a breaker bar and air tools.. nothing seems to work.. it probably need a dremel taken to it to give the sides an edge rather then it being round like it is.. i bought the need plug and gasket..

Who wants to help me out getting this off? please only say yes if you know you can, not anyone tihnking they maybe can... im willing to pay if you name a price..

yeahh i was gonna do that but other then the plug i have no use for it so i figured it would be cheaper finding someone who can do it for me real quick.. i just need it loosened so i can finish the oil change.

believe it or not, you buy that kit, it will 100% come in good use for future use. but i would get channel locks and get a hammer and do what you can.

i had a lift when mine stripped. i got a set of channel locks and hammer and hit that sucker like it was a baseball.

I was going to suggest a set of vise grips and some turn and pull action. Either of those should work, and if you have the tools it won't cost you anything.

find someone with a welder and have the weld a nut on the end of the drain plug.... i had a car in my old shop that had the same problem and thats what i did

try a set of vise grips as suggested. Shouldnt be on that tight in the first place.

[dickerdieter]

couldnt you drill a hole through the plug and then put a metal rod through it and then use that to turn it, that might work

seems like my best bet at this point.

i've tried vise grips. nothing is working. it seems like it was torque with an air gun or something.

I take it the head of the drain bolt is stripped. Take a Dremel and cut the head of the bolt so it's square and use either an open end wrench or an adjustable wrench and turn it out. I do alot of engine swaps at the shop I work at and more than a few of the used blocks we get have the oil drain bolts rounded off. Just try not to cut into the pan. Get it so far down and then smack the corners U cut off with a screwdriver and a hammer.

get a new car!

[twistedlanes]

haha^^^ try an impact socket that maybe is a size smaller try to hammer it on there without killing your oil pan and use that to turn it. please dont hurt your oil pan!

[Eagleboyrox]

.....Or just get a new oil pan, that'll solve everything lol

[Sberk06]

get a new car!

looks whos talking.. yours doesnt even move unless you push it down a hill.

Whatever you do...Once its off, only tighten it by hand!

I agree with the dremel 2 sides down and then use vice grips to turn it!
