Just like the title says, it's all fudged up from the PO. The drain plug opens easily. Sprayed it with Kroil and heated it up but no luck. Keep heating it up? Suggestions appreciated. Thanks
Weld a nut to it
Good ideas, thanks. Dealer be my only choice for a new plug?
Was thinking that and use the next size up on the 6pt socket. I just want out to break loose. Will try your trick as well.I would try hitting the wrench hard with a hammer at the same time you're trying to break it loose
Think it is aluminum and that's why I was hesitate in overtheating it.Be careful hitting that with a hammer. That TC case is aluminum I believe. I'd drill it and extract that way. I believe it's a 3/8 NPT plug. Any hardware store should have one. The plug itself should be steel.
I have had occasional luck using the small propane torch you use on heat shrink tubing for electrical wires. It has a very narrow flame that allows you to concentrate the heat in a small area.Think it is aluminum and that's why I was hesitate in overtheating it.
