rounded oil bolt

[powerband]

my oil bolt under the blaster is stripped out.what would be the best way to remove and a good place to find a new one

vise grips are gonna be your best bet to get it off of there. you can get drain plugs on ebay, dealer, bikebandit.com, lots of places

damn..i hope it doesnt come down to that

 

[DirtDiggler]

you can use a file to flatten a couple of sides and then tap on a socket for a nice tight fit , then remove it , i've done that many times

 

[mr_3_0_5]

or cut a slot and use a flat head..
