Gorilla on the loose in Southern New Hampshire!
 

There is a gorilla on the loose in southern New Hampshire. The last known sighting was a couple years ago in Manchester, where he was seen tightening an oil drain plug onto a blue 1994 Buick Century.

:furious3:

Poor sumbich must be freezing his ass off.

It's actually kind of warm here right now -- ~30*. Long as he has a place for the night, he should be OK. Not that I care.

never mind, I thought maybe Chris Christie had gone rogue. Or something.

I think they've got Christie in restraints now. The bigger fear around here is Rob Ford.

I can see a bright idea on the horizon ,capture King Kong ,the prize , a beautiful girl .

Vise grips work well as does pulling the oil from the dip stick.

Make sure you buy a brand new one to replace the bad one

Last I heard, after a career with Samsonite, he was seen slinging luggage at Logan Int'l. :D

I too have encountered drain plugs tightened by, I'm pretty sure, that same gorilla. It has a way of getting around and surviving in diverse habitats. I once had a drain plug on my BMW tranny tightened a wee bit too tight. I eventually got pissed and used a huge easy out - needs a pilot hole of about 3/8 IIRC - and jammed that thing in there. This after heating the hell out of the case after the oil had drained.

Pulled it out all right.

That had a recessed female allen hole to drill into, with a crankcase plug would need a good centered hole. I use a tiny carbide ball bit on my Dremel to make a nice little starter hole right where I want it on steel, then use a 1/16 bit to make it official. This on broken steel screws I'm trying to get out so a larger bit would be good for your application, 3/32 or 1/8 perhaps. If you get a big enough easy out, and a centered hole, you can drill out enough steel so that the remaining plug is thin enough so that tapping on the edges with a small punch could break it loose.

It's the girl 'a my dreams.
