Rounded off drain plug

[Wagtail]

I am waiting, with abated breath, for the Rube Goldberg Machine method of removing the rounded off drain plug.

(Difficulty: No [quality] pipe-wrench)

You are probably thinking of the compound leverage pipe wrench.

Good LORD! That would fit the bill.

Looks like it would take a two 'person' crew to position & operate.

There's a big difference between topical funny stuff and stupid troll posts...

Do your spread your topical funny stuff on your skin? I have never heard of topical funny stuff. Does it also loosen up stuck drain plugs?

Since the stated plug has been found to enjoy its present residence why not just drill another hole?
Helicoil kit, new drain plug and voila!
Oh and don't get to technical wit me. Once the new drain plug is in and fresh oil added , drive over to a weld shop and have them purty it up and all dat stuff. You technical guys can fill in da details.
or has it been posted already?
After 87 pages it's right up there with remembering what I had for breakfast.:laughing:

There’s no way to get the cuttings out of the pan.

Nothing to miss Mate. It's old technology used back 'in the day' before PVC pipe.

Today's tools can do what the pipe-wrench of old (unless, of course, you've got a "quality" one hanging from your peg-board)((gathering dust)) did, plus a whole lot more!

You just never know when something big might be the right tool for the job.

The tape measure says it all!

Sometimes you can work up to the right size tool.
