this is a bitch. the bolt was in bad shape so a 17mm wrench wouldnt go on. it would just barely get the tip of the bolt. i tried that failed. then i tried a lock wrench or whatever you call it. that failed. then i drilled a hole though it put some broke drill bits in the hole then used the lock wrench. that failed, bits broke everytime. i dont know what else to do now, so i need help i only filled the tranny fluid up the the axels thats the only why i could get the fluid in. so its not even full. but enough to move round the lot i think. so how do you take off the tranny oil plug/bolt if its rounded with a lil hole in it? and one more thing its tight as F**K.

 

Vise grips? I filled mine through the reverse sensor because the fill bolt was too tight.

 

yeah vise grips thats what there called. lock wrench thing = vise grips , ha haha

 

You can pull your speed sensor and fill from there. Just make sure you don't over fill it.

 

Dude use vise grips......you just didnt make them tight enough. Put some muscle's behind those things it will for sure take that bolt out. I work at a oil change shop and I get sooooo pissed when the dumbass before me puts a oil drain plug or a gearbox plug with what seems like a damn impact gun. I mean how damn tight do they actually think something like that needs to be???

man im telling you it doesnt hold itll just spin now since its rounded. mang why the hell do ppl make that **** so tight, ****. mang i guess ill try the vise grips again. you guys know any strong metal that will go in that hole i made?

 

heres what u do ok. get a VISE GRIP brand vice grip, brand new. get a nice beefy one. brand new because the teeth will still be sharp. get the one that doesnt have the flat pinchers but the ones that are flat for a little bit then curve, get it at home depot you will see the exact one. go home with that, find a nice spot to put it on flat and flush and put that thing on as HARD AS U ****** ******* CAN. think about your ex girlfriend that cheated on you or your shitty boss at work while doing this. And yell FUUUUUUUUUUCK as u squeeze, u will get it tightest this way. then put your head at rear of your car with your legs facing the front. Then, laying on your back, BOOT that ******* vice grips, the bolt will come loose! Then drink a beer while getting head, you will have never felt more satisfied in your life

same here!

 

I had the same problem with my tranny plug, and I tried SOOOO hard to get it off, I even bent my wrench. sometimes muscle doesn't work. What I did was soaked it a bunch of times with wd-40 and what not, then applied a torch to the bolt, the faster it heats up the more likely it'll come loose, so try to use a good torch if you have one. Once its hot, try to get it off with the vise grips, or try cooling it with water/heating it up again. Good luck!

 

yeah the torch is my last resort. but im still going to try the muscles first ha haha.

 

Sears sells a bolt-out kit thats impact grade. great for taking out rounded bolts and nuts. uses the same idea that an easy-out uses for broken manifold studs and bolts the lose their heads.

 

for future reference for everyone here:

do not put a wrench or ratchet on there and use arm strength to loosen the bolt.

put a wrench on there, hold it on there straight where it is around the bolt, and hit the other end of the wrench with a hammer.

won't strip.

and, doesn't require any strength whatsoever.. like a makeshift impact gun.

Mackenzie: sounds like your **** was fucked before you got to it, so my idea wouldn't help because some other fuckup screwed up.
