Thanks Ron, tried that with both a chisel and a punch, it would not move and only destroys the bolt more. One thing I've been looking at is the chamfer on the wrench which this guy comments. I ground the hell out of this craftsman 6 point box end, so I think I'm going to grind that chamfer off the wrench to so the wrench gets a little more bite on the drain bolt. Going to give it a few more shots and also give it some heat.   Logged     http://roadstarclinic.com/images/comprofiler/4594_5930dea076224.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008746 yamaleidy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 623 Re:Bad Drain Plug...Removing Oil??? 10 Months ago   Did you try heating first then the chisel? The guy said a big tap is worth many small taps. Did you watch the video to the part where he showed the deformed nut? Needs a good hit.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/04/23 22:40 By yamaleidy.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008755 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

New one on me, but let me guess, by the name, I'll bet it means the more oomph you push on your handle, the tighter it bites in and grips that bad nut or bolt head. Sounds like one truly valuable tool to have on hand!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008793 Seal_Bch_Tom (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 370 Re:Bad Drain Plug...Removing Oil??? 10 Months ago   offduty12 wrote: go to auto parts store and buy a torque socket for removing stripped nuts. Torque socket???....is that the same thing as an Extractor Socket. One problem is that I can't get a socket on the drain bolt....not enough room between the frame and the drain bolt. I thought about grinding flats on a 6 point s socket then putting an open end wrench on, but can't get the socket in between the frame. I may try grinding it a bit   Logged     http://roadstarclinic.com/images/comprofiler/4594_5930dea076224.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008795 HotRodStar (User) Midnight Rider RRRRRRRR Platinum Boarder Posts: 2669 Re:Bad Drain Plug...Removing Oil??? 10 Months ago   Metwrinch tools. They grip the sides of the nuts and bolts, not the corners. Have sworn by that set of info-mercial Tools for more than 20 years. Only thing bad about them was the plastic case they came in. http://www.metrinch.tv/index.php/combination-sets/metrinch/62-piece-combination-wrench-and-socket-set.html   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008797 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5329 Re:Bad Drain Plug...Removing Oil??? 10 Months ago   I usually have success with a sharp chisel to make a spot for a punch to get a good bite. A couple good smacks and it should be loose. Proper angle is everything. The sharp chisel gets hit directly (90 degrees) into the bolt head and then the punch gets hit at the proper angle to turn the bolt. Good luck!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1008858 Seal_Bch_Tom (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 370 Re:Bad Drain Plug...Removing Oil??? 10 Months ago   Well HALAUHA!!!! That sum bitch came out. Heated the drain bolt with a propane torch and the engine case a bit, then ground down the wrench so there was no chamfer around the opening on the craftsman 6 point box end, then pounded it on past all the bunged up points on the drain bolt the tapped the wrench a few times and holy god it broke loose!!! I can't believe how much time I wasted on this damn bolt!!! I will never use another 12 point box end on that drain bolt....well I don't need to now that I have a custom 17mm drain bolt wrench. And thankfully the chisel did not harm the engine surface!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AWESOME SUGGESTIONS!!! EXCEPT FOR THE C4 SUGGESTION , ALTHOUGH I was getting so pissed that it did cross my mind!!! Thanks again!! You guys are the best!!!   Logged     http://roadstarclinic.com/images/comprofiler/4594_5930dea076224.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access.
