I need to know how to get the drain bolt off cause mine is on there pretty dam tight ive tried everything sockets, vise grips, pliers and i just can get it off and i dont want to strip it cause everything i try to get off on my quad usually strips and this is one thing i dont want 2 strip cause i cant drill it out or anything.
 
ill anwser this question again. tip you blaster on its ass(leaning on the grab bar) fine a socket that is slightly smaller then the nut. pound it on there with a hammer. next get a welder and weld the lip of the nut to the socket. make sure you use a crap socket cause your never gonna use it again. that should get it out. thats how i got mine out and fabb_3s. i wish i had pics, but i dont.
 
i had same problem i used vise grips around the edge of the bolt worked great like they said tilt the quad up
 
you def gotta get the quad on it's ass.
what i did was just cut the head off it w/ a dremel. then i replaced it.
 
you dont need a welder...all you need to do is get a smaller socket then the bolt, pound it on there and torque if off.

I use an impact gun now too. Much faster than doing it by hand.
 
make sure ur going the rite way to. 1 time i was trying to pull it off the other way actually tighten it and almost stripped it out.
