Oil pan bolt won't come off
Just took the undercover off for the first time to change the oil and the dealership fused the freakin bolt to the pan. Cannot for the life of me get it off, even with a breaker bar. Dealership is 125 miles away so I'm looking for assist. How can I get this thing off? Freakin dealerships, that's why I do my own changes....

Might want to spray some kind of lube on it and let it sit for a little while. Breaker bar on the oil plug? Jeez, that sounds way too tight.
|
I like your thinking, I sprayed a little croil on there and I'm relaxing, esle I might do something foolish.
|
Bolt and pan are steel so it can take a good amount of abuse. Wonder if the copper crush washer is the issue. GL!
|
don't use an impact gun ;)
|
Another tip that works sometimes....put the socket on the nut and give the socket a good smack with a hammer.
|
This may sound very stupid but a buddy of mine trying to loosen (due to the way he was facing) went clockwise instead on his brake caliper bolt. He kept on tightening until the bolt snapped off. :confused2:
Not saying that's your case...just checking. |
