NoNvMBZ, consider taking your car to a local indie and having the drain plug removed and replaced. Would expect that an indie has faced this situation before and knows the remedy.

You could always heat the pan & plug, then use dry-ice or a can of upside-down air duster on the plug itself; it may contract enough to get loose. Never tried it myself, but then again I've got plenty of high-quality tools. An indie is going to try the same things you're doing, only with bigger, better tools and while standing up. Having worked as an indie (removing my fair share of stuck plugs), I'd shoot it with some PB blaster or Deep Creep, let it sit for an hour or so, then grab the Irwin set and a long breaker bar.

where do I find this PB Blaster or Deep Creep?
Haven't been able to locate the Irwins yet either, and I'm near Reno. Thanks, |

Your easiest solution to remove oil from the engine is to get a suction oil changer. I bought mine at a marine supply house, they are available other places, and suction the oil out. In later models, MB specifies this method.
Here, for instance. http://www.right-tool.com/lioilchpukit.html or here http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car+maintenance/oil+changes/multi+fluid+extractor.do

Most parts stores carry all of that stuff (at least here they do). If not, try your local home depot or lowes. Bolt extractors & penetrants aren't specific to the automotive field. As far as fluid extractors go, I'd look at the mightyvac - holds 8.8L. This one is hand pumped, but they do make one that runs on shop air: http://www.restockit.com/The-Fluid-Evacuator-Plus-(MIT7201).html?source=froogle&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=comparsionshopping&Bvar5=100F1&Bvar6=100F1&Bvar7=100F1&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=MIT7201 I've never used one to extract oil (I have used them on other fluids), but that's because I had a lift and an oil catcher; much quicker.

Thanks for that gentlemen, I have been using a pump to remove it, just not one that fancy, and that may be the way to go and just be done with all the brain damage and in the future climbing underneath.
Thanks, Joe |

#%*"<# ,PLUG
'Had same problem with the Sump Drain Plug, FIRST time I touched it!
(AND I KNOW Who changed the oil the time before and used 150Ft Lbs to torque down the drain plug...I'm a jus biding my time waiting to witness his DOWNFALL!) Relief was provided when I soaked the drain plug area overnight (Twice) with AeroKroil and then clamped what was left of the stub of the plug in the biggest honking Vise Grips I could find...Tightened them down with another set of VG's... 'Slipped a 2.5 foot length of 1 1/2" Galvanized over the end of the ViseGrips and proceeded to LEVER... It seemed like the Pan was gonna wrench off the bottom end of the block,BUT FINALLY the plug backed out 1/3 turn and I was a free man again! HOWEVER,The "Irwin's" should make short work of your difficulty.

PB blaster is in most parts store, from AZ, kragen, napa, carquest. You can try "freeze off" it worked wonder on the exhaust manifold bolts. Spray every day for a week... "knock her loose" at carquest worked well too while salvaging some suspension spring at a junkyard in Utah once.

Brilliant Call
This was the absolutely brilliant call, as when I got to the sender, and removed it, the plastic electronic connector that goes through the center, to the lead, and into the pan was just spinning around, the gasket was fine, but I have no idea how that plastic thing failed. But it is resolved, at least the leak and blow back is. Now on to the plug.
thanks, Joe Quote:
