[s-cars] Seized drain plug

[Tom Mullane]

Kevin,

There have been quite a few threads like this.  They all start with "gotta
replace the pan" but the usual ending is that the plug is out and must be
replaced.  I have never seen anyone post that the threads were damaged.

Whatever you do, be careful not to damage the pan.  The plug *will* come
out.  Those who have had the best luck have used air chisels or hand chisels
to turn the plug.

Time to start doing your own oil changes to make sure everything gets done
correctly.  If not, maybe someone can recommend a shop - where are you?

Tom

Thanks Jerry.

Has anyone seen the oil pan threads come off with too much pressure?
