Any ideas as to hoe to get the blookin sump plug off? so far a hammer and spanner have failed! The car is on stands as i write!

Breaker bar if it's tight. Don't round it off!

 

[sionowz]

i dont have many tools and no car to get any more....hm this doesnt sound too good

If you haven't got the sump plug out, you can always drop the car back down if you need to get some more tools?

Just wondering if the wheel nut iron is the same size as the sump plug bolt? Worth a try?

 

[sionowz]

that was my though...i checked and it wasnt there!! floomin typical. Ive put engine flush in the car...would i damage it if i drove with it in?

 

[AlpineWhite]

Erm, having never used engine flush, I have no idea. Anyone?

How far, too?

 

[sionowz]

it's starting to get rounded....i'm going to stop and await some instruction from some wise people!!....help!

u can drive with engine flush in for up to two hours in my experiance, this also gives the flush chance to circulated around your engine to loosen up crap!!

have you tried slightly heating the plug as this makes the metal a bit more supple and loosens its grip making it easier to turn!!

Liberal coating of WD40 and a few taps with the spanner will help it find it's way into the threads too. Perhaps let it soak in overnight?

cheers for the help lads..just to check...that's 2 hours of driving right? not 2 hours in the engine?

 

[woody1986]

sorry is it engine oil flush? If so dont use your car for driving till you have drained and replaced your oil.

If its coolant flush then you can use your car normally for a few hours.

balls. it's wynnes engine flush...oil flush. was guna drive to the garage tomor, but wont then!

 

[woody1986]

no i wouldnt. i assumed u ment coolant flush as iv just dne my coolant recently soz fella.

if your bolt rounds off too much u could use a pair of pipe grips to get ot out then replace it with a new bolt! (assuming it comes loose!!)
