Nah, the wife likes ribs better.Any cicadas?
I'll tell you, I've taken a lot of rusty bolts out over the years but this sucker is stuck!! Someone put the plug in with no washer. I had vice grips on there with pipe on the end. Spin right off. And I tried a few different pairs. I tried an undersized 1/2" socket...Pounded it on, and nope. I was going to go buy an extractor set for m$30 and hope it has the right size one to fit, and my buddy said screw that, use my vacuum pump. And that's what I did!!Can you use a cutoff wheel to slice a channel for a flat blade screwdriver?
That's the one thing I didn't try!Some Sea Foam then a propane torch.
Last time the oil was changed did you replace the little washer on the oil plug? I experienced the same thing on a older honda years ago, it turns out that little sucker is really important in making sure the plug goes in straight and proper rather than slightly cross threaded. Never worked on that girl friends car again.That's the one thing I didn't try!
i cant stop laughing, thanx so much
I had it changed at a shop and they did not replace the gasket...In fact it looks like there is no gasket at all! It's going to be the next person's problem! The vacuum pump worked splendidly....Last time the oil was changed did you replace the little washer on the oil plug?

Drop the pan, clean the plug really well & weld an overside nut on top of it - warm it up with a torch & quinch then quick like a bunny hit it with a 1/2" impact. My money says it'll jump right out but you're still left with F2*ked up female (most likely metric) threads. Some times you can chase em but many times not.I'll tell you, I've taken a lot of rusty bolts out over the years but this sucker is stuck!! Someone put the plug in with no washer.

Which means replacement of the pan. This is why I don't have great love for mechanics I don't know personally.Drop the pan, clean the plug really well & weld an overside nut on top of it - warm it up with a torch & quinch then quick like a bunny hit it with a 1/2" impact.
