Sump Plug question - its stuck!

Post by **mattrsa** » 02 Oct 2007, 09:51

Need to do an oil change on my van but the sump plug is so rounded off that I can't get anything on it to try untighten it.

Anybody got any ideas how I can get it out?

Somone has suggested, getting somone to weld a big bolt to it and then trying to undo it.

Would this work?

Regards
Matt

the welding method is what i was gonna suggest you dont need a massive bolt just a good weld the heat helps loosen the sump plug as well, do you have a new plug to go back in??

Nope I don't have one as yet, I see JK do them so might get one from there unless someone tells me they are rubbish.

6 wall socket.. these will get nearly anything undone..
buy a cheap 12mm one and tap it on with a hammer..
