    Default threaded sump plug

    hi, my friend just called me and told me he did his sump plug on his ae82 4ag rolla and was wondering if theres any easier way of getting it out other than taking whole sump off

    vice grips, screw them up so they are ust too tight to do them up by hand, then get a pair of multi grips to close them, then try.

    not really the greatest suggestion considering its like a 17/19mm bolt.....

    also not forgetting steel pieces arent the best thing to have floating around inside your sump.

    if its just done up too tight....un do it?

    if its stripped then smash a small socket on it (something imperial will be slightly smaller than the metric) and un do it that way.

    becareful dont hit it tooo hard or you'll just bend the sump, its only thin metal.
    In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

    if it has a copper washer, a little love tp on the head of the bolt may free it up

    if you shock the bolt, by hitting it on the head of the bolt, it may free it up, either way to do it properly the sump needs to come off.

    if you supplied a little more info, you may get a bit more help.
