Platinum Boarder Posts: 6873 Re:ouch!!!!!!! friggin drain plug need ideas 11 Months ago   Once you get it off...remember to get the 14mm magnetic replacement plug. MUCH easier to get ahold of in there.   Logged     ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #505788 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 Re:ouch!!!!!!! friggin drain plug need ideas 11 Months ago   yes Im turning it the right way unless they are reverse thread I do know what you mean though gonna try the welding thing next I think it will have to be a nut though no room for a bolt. I have a new 14 mm plug right here ready just gotta get this p.o.s. out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #505797 Roadstar_Rob (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 299 Re:ouch!!!!!!! friggin drain plug need ideas 11 Months ago   with a dremmel tool, hand file, etc. square up the sides as best you can to get either a 16mm/standard equivelent socket or needle nose vice grip to get some bite.. I would do it on a warm motor vs. cold. gentle taps with hammer on the socket rachet or vice grip... Good luck!   Logged     2009 RoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #505802 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:ouch!!!!!!! friggin drain plug need ideas 11 Months ago   I bought a short 17mm socket that I could get in there.

I have a new 14 mm plug right here ready just gotta get this p.o.s. out. I had the same problem; tried every tool I could buy with no such luck. I even tried grinding down a wrench. I ended up taking it to a local auto shop and the guy just whacked it with a chisel. The plug broke loose, I went home and immediately put the 14mm plug in and haven't had a problem since.   Logged     The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #505868 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !
