Title: Stripped Drain Plug help
Post by: Hotcakes on July 30, 2013, 07:53:53 AM

after trying to drain my oil for an oil change the plug is stripped
any ideas on how to get this out.. per say vice grips
so annoyed
also if anyone has a link to a replacement drain plug/bolt would be great

Did you strip and destroy the threads on the pan, or did you round off the head of the drain plug bolt?

Hope that helps
When that happened to mine i used a combination of Punch and hammer near the edges to start it moving a little)  and then mole grips

Good luck !

Are you unable to turn it now with a proper 17 mm socket and a 3/8" drive ratcheting wrench?

went to my mechanic friend, we were able to get it off and back on
I did order another bolt from my dealer
will not have to worry about this till fall or possibly spring
