Oil Pan Drain Plug

[kells]

I cannot get the drain plug off on my Iseki, Who ever tighten it last time just cranked on this thing. The head is now stripped as well. I have tried Vise grips,heating the plug and banging on a smaller socket but i cannot budge the plug, any other ideas?

Bigger Vise Grips.

Don't heat the plug, cool the plug.

Sears has some good tools for this such as:

Good Luck

Mine was so tight when I got it I had to take a big crescent wrench and a hammer to loosen it. Might be the refurbishing people overseas are using an air wrench?
Anyway, keep putting PB blaster on it for a couple of days and then try it again. If it is rounded off, you might end-up dropping the oil pan and easy-outing it. Also you might try grinding a slot for a large screw driver, or welding something on it and using that to turn it. Good luck.

Pipewrench and a cheater bar.

Use a pipe wrench, it won't slip like vise grips.
