well tonight i decided to change the oil in my moms 05 accord. Well turns out the fucking drain plug is stuck on like it was impacted by a dumbass at carmax so i spent about an hour stripping the bolt before i gave up. Fuck.
That is all.

bruce i gots 2 of the 3 things. But I dono if i can get that thing in there(no homo). I have like a 3 and 1/2 long by 2inch section behind the drain plug. fwd v6 ftl.
use vice grips?
ask DB4LYFE im really good at getting stripped bolts off......if u have one to replce it
well when we were doing his swap one of the bolts holding the flex plate to the crank stripped out so i had to grind it down to make it square so i could get vice grips on it because it is very short and shaped like a bottle capOriginally Posted by slovic
Get a box wrench one size below the size of the bolt. Placed it on the bolt and hammer it on all the way, use another wrench for leverage...loosen. Get new bolt.
^^ not enough space. I tired and couldnt get a hammer or anything in there to smash it on with.
dabuilding, i did use vice grips. Ended up tearing groves into the bolt head.
It really is pissing me off. I prob am gonna take it up to my school next week and attack it with a ziz wheel and a flat head or something.
Don't fuck up the pan! THen you will really be fucked.Originally Posted by tdurr
Dude, that socket set i posted works wonders. I use it at work to get fucked up plugs out all the time. You could bring it through and I'll get it out if you want. I'm in alpharetta tho.
