stripped bolt
i went under the car to do the first oil change since i bought the car and the oil pan plug is stripped so i tried using a vice grip to get it off but it would budge. i can hardly get a grip on the bolt, whoever messed with it before really messed it up, so can anyone tell me how to get it off, thanks
P.S. i did search and everyone just basically said to use the vice grip

**** looks like a elk chewed it all up haha
I would just soak the bastard in penetrating oil and go at it with vice grips until it came off. But since you already tried that I dont know what else to tell you except drill it out......but that would make one serious mess.

Re: (H.crx-si)
you don't have to drill all the way through it, just go to lowes, homedepot wherever you feel like shopping and buy a screw extractor. It's like a normal screw only threaded the other way and you lightly tap it in there and with a lot of pressure to keep it in place slowly turn. That's not in a bad place at all.

Re: (JA_EH94)
That bolt out thing from sears will work. Just get one that will tightly fit on the plug and hammer it on then you can get it off. Or if that doesn't work, go for the screw extractor idea.

i cant get a good grip on the bolt, it will seem like it has a good grip and when i go to pull it jus slips right off and i dont want to mess up the bolt even more than it is now

Re: (JA_EH94)
that bolt is too messed up to get a good grip from vice grips.. I'll sell you an oil pan for 50 shipped... thats about the same cost as the extractor kit.... If you choose to go with the kit hopefully it will work.. that bolt looks almost completely rounded.. I did get a stripped head bolt out of a motor before and those are torqued to like 70lbs so I think it'l work..

Talk about helpin a guy out, thats a ****** steal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dumbass
Either use the vice grips at the very base of the bolt or go buy the screw extractor. I'm sure throughout your life you'll have many uses for it.

The dremel tool idea above mine is a good idea, forgot about that, last couple times I've needed to ez out something it's been recessed.
The little drill bit looking thing I'm talking about is like $1.88, no point in not getting it, it'll have you done in 2 minutes if you don't have a demel.

was about to post that until i saw him write it.
i would do that.
how the hell did they do that, did they use a impact gun on that and it just shredded it?
see if you can hammer on a smaller socket on there.
