When a new Pope is elected, they send up white smoke. When the drain plug comes out, I think Kando should tip up some pallets in his field.

Boats were mentioned above, the boat we had was equipped with a fitting in place of oil plug that had a small pipe attached to it that went up beside the engine. It had a cap on it that was removed when it was time to change the oil, just sucked it right out, pulling from the normal drain in pan, so it got everything out that pulling the plug would have.. of course there are many different systems in place.

I think some time back I wondered if this thread would get to 2000 posts before we figured it out. So we have time. I bet it will be some hairbrained idea that wins the prize.

Like go to town and get a replacement drain plug, hit the old one with a propane torch after wipedown, and then put a pipe wrench of suitable size on it and turn the correct direction to back the plug out and be done with it?
Something like that?

I agree. With heat applied to the plug grip would not be as critical.

I am not sure, Kandos plug is different than anything TBN has dealt with before, it is not an ordinary pallet,,,,, uhhh, I mean... plug. :duh: :duh:Like go to town and get a replacement drain plug, hit the old one with a propane torch after wipedown, and then put a pipe wrench of suitable size on it and turn the correct direction to back the plug out and be done with it?

Sorry /pine you will need to amuse yourself. :wave:
Why do you keep reading them if you find them so offensive? To me that's the biggest mystery of all.

What I said was a (paraphrased) sublimated expression that should have read "never ceases to amuse me"...

Okay another hair brained idea since you are betting...
1. Drill a hole through the side of the plug.
2. Drive a hard pin through the plug that extends a bit on both ends.
3. Grind a couple of notches in a socket that fit the pin.
4. Put a ratchet and cheater bar on it.
5. Break the socket.
Oh well... next?

If you can think of a way to get the plug out, please chime in. :thumbsup:

Impact socket might not break?
