goat 1 - Me 0 Oil Drain Plug

Spent some time today fighting with my oil drain plug. Whomever put it in there tightened it way too tight. It would not budge. The square drive (Great idea ! Sheesh) was already kinda rounded and I could not get a firm hold on it. Any bright ideas out there? I ended up pumping the oil out and doing the fluid filter change that way but I really want the threaded nipple setup for the future. Uggh ! Still love it though.

Pipe wench

If it is a socket type, you might be able to drill a small hole horizontally through the nipple (what the socket goes over to tighten/loosen... Can't remember name right now) and put a small metal rod through the hole and tighten...

I'm sorry if this doesn't make sence... I'm not good at explaining things


But that's a worst case scenario... Like 73m819 said, pipe wrench

Got it scoot, thats a great idea! TY Pipe wrench just couldnt get a firm purchase on it, and i have several pipe wrenches.

I hope it works gammagoat... I tend to try to think outside the box... Let us know the results when your done

If all else fails you can tack weld a bolt to the plug and then you have a hex head for a wrench to grab on to.

I had the same problem with my deuce. I had a welder TIG weld a large nut onto the drain plug. Worked like a charm but it still took a huge wrench and two people to get it loose.
