thehorse 221 #1 Posted October 12, 2014 Ok.....was getting ready to do a transmission fluid change on my newly acquired 416--h, even though the fluid looks good, the plug is completely rounded off in there. I put a new filter on and decided to seek advice on this. All I can say is %}^{*. ,,! I'm sure my only option is to drill it out and put in a new plug, but I'm afraid I'd get shavings in there from drilling it out. what to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #2 Posted October 12, 2014 Do you mean the allen wrench head drain plug? some smart folks have welded on a nut others have used a easy out/extractor some folks have knocked in a star bit to back it out. there are a bunch of old threads on this subjuct some car dealers change the oil by sucking out and avoid a possible strippeddrain plug all together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehorse 221 #3 Posted October 12, 2014 Yes...the Allen head plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #4 Posted October 12, 2014 Take a chisel about the size of the allen head and drive into the hole, use a adjustable to grab the chisel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,744 #6 Posted October 12, 2014 I always change my plugs to the square head plug and get an 8 pt socket to fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KyBlue 655 #8 Posted October 14, 2014 Glad ya got it out... I thought I was gonna have to go through something similar with my 418A ... hammered in a spare phillips bit ... used a socket to get it out. Again, glad you got Yours out too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrblanke 918 #9 Posted October 14, 2014 Got it out! Got on other posts...the pipe nipple extractor did the trick. Excellent! I was worried that drilling would have to occur. Definitely don't want any foreign material up inside that pump! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
