[s-cars] Re: Oil Drain Plug - Follow-up

Dig the chisel into the edge of flange on the oil plug (the large diameter
part) pushing in the correct direction for unscrewing it.  (You're trying to
unscrew the plug with the impact.)   Try not to touch the pan with the
chisel.  I had no luck with the hammer & chisel method.  I don't know if it
would work in theory or not, but you just can't swing the hammer hard enough
or aim well enough lying on the floor and reaching under the car.  It took
about 2 seconds with the air chisel.
