Sooty Si 1 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 (1) Where's the search function for the forums, if there is one? (2) Anyone got any ideas on freeing up a seized sump plug (2004 JTS)? When I last serviced her I couldn't undo the plug and ended up having to suck the oil out using a pump. I've managed to round out the allen socket hole without it shifting. Ground some flats onto it but still no luck. Tried heat as well. Don't want to go too friggin' medieval on it in case I crack the alloy sump. Next option I guess is to weld a nice big nut onto the plug, unless anyone has a better idea. Can't afford a new, or even second hand sump at the moment so that's not really an option right now.

Smaky 73 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 Just suck it out again, keep hiting the sump and it will give in and you'll just have a nightmare to clean up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
