Rounded off drain plug

[ddbackhoe]

I had one of those at one time. Unfortunately he very suddenly passed away. Speaking from experience it's kind of a rough way to deal with it, not that I had any choice. Best mend fences sooner rather than later and yes you can quote me to your sibling.

Don't see that happening. We have an elderly parent and one of us is constantly bitchin at them and telling them how the parent never did anything to help them and still wont :confused2:. AND my sibling is very close to being indigent (lots of very bad life choices) and believes our parent should forfeit their retirement fund. :thumbdown: I'm seriously leaning towards a restraining order for elderly abuse.

Did you do the WD40/tapping/turning thing in the video?

Why would he, has he turned it upside down yet? At a minimum, shouldn't the vehicle be laying on the drivers side?

Did you fabricate that? That's a useful device!

No, I知 not smart enough for that. The vise grip adapter came with the slide hammer.

I also bought one that is made for vise grips:

They come in different sizes:

This has worked for me in the past: Penetrating oil, vise grips and light taps with a slide hammer.

Probably not that anyone even cares at this point, but these “damaged head bolt extractors” would most likely remove the plug no problem with the aid of an impact wrench.

Perhaps whomever does the #1500 post has to travel to Indiana to remove the plug.

How about sending the first one that show's he has proper tools?

No way, you should be disqualified....:muttering::muttering:.....keeping Mac tools in a snapon box AND using a snapon impact wrench with Mac tools :shocked:.

Turbo sockets cure any ailment.
