u might have to pull the engine so you can get a good grip with some vise grips and then put a new one in.
can u weld? if so weld a larger nut onto the stripped nut then unscrew it.. thats what i had to do..
Just slam a socket on top of it and remove it.Take the closest socket size that doesn't fit on it and slam it on with a hammer till it's where it needs to be,then put a ratchet on it and remove.Should work well.If not go to sears/parts store and the make sockets(bolt extractors) that have a reverse curl to them that you slam on and when you reverse they bite into the metal.
x2 thats exactly what i did with the socket worked perfict and i now keep that socket under my seat so i use the right one nextime
stand the quad up take a dremel with a cutting bit cut a straight slot for a large flat head screwdriver and unscrew it
thats probably the easiest...i was reaing all the posts and coldnt believe this wasnt the first option. AND the nut is reusable just using a screwdriver afterwards!
Sorry but I beg to differ.If he stripped the bolt head already then chances are it's in there pretty tight.A screwdriver is not going to get the torque you would with a socket/wrench etc.That would absolutely be the last thing I would try.IMO
wrench wouldnt do it. and exactly! you use the fattest head driver application, and coupler it to a ratchet. the amount of torque from he ratchet would be most beneficial
Why would a wrench not do it.If you take the next smallest size and slam it on it will work great.I do it that way,have done it, and it works very good.Not saying that cutting a slot will not work,but if he ruins it any more most likely it is splitting the cases to fix.I personally would not try it till last.Hey to each his own.There are plenty of suggestions,now he can choose which one.
damn that sucks.you can put some silicone on the nut and threads and put it back in.thats what i did to my car i did the same thing for my oil pan.or you could drill it out and re tap it bigger
i sorry i didnt strip the plug i stripped the actual pan
The pan is actually the cases.Only thing you can do is maybe get a helicoil from the parts store and try inserting one in there.A helicoil is made to go into stripped threads and give you the next size down threads.But you might have to use a regular short bolt as a drain plug depending on what size helicoil you get.
