Rounded off drain plug

   / Rounded off drain plug #1,851  
When i heard the suggestion, I googled 'salting stored hay' and started reading.

Makes me wonder about how well doing the same thing with different mineral blends for different animals might work.
Now that your hay should be stored away, any chance we can get an update on your 4th of July plug removal plans?

If that dang thing comes out, it will give us another reason to set off fireworks.

That was back when kids would blow the school commodes apart with them. Now I guess you could use tannerite on that plug.

Cold chisel, sharpened good, applied to cut into the surface in such a way to produce torque to undo the thread. First direct blows to cut a notch in a close to radial direction, then when a good notch is established, shift the angle to being closer to tangential to the surface to make it rotate out. This is my standard method with nuts that strip out. In your case it is a plug, but apparently there is still a bit sticking out that one can access.

X2 on this.
I had to replace fan clutch on my Ford truck a while ago. 38mm nut I think it was. I tried everything, nothing worked. Then I used my air chisel with it on left edge of nut corner. Wow! It turned, then next corner, etc. It spun off in a minute.
New one I installed with wrench, locktite on threads.

I cant believe this thread is still going, what in the World can folks make so many post over a rounded off drain plug. I am sure the OP has fixed that plug months ago.
