Oil pan drain plug hard to get off. suggestions?

[Rusty67]

Sears sell extractors that work like an easy out but for bolt heads, I have never had to use one though so I can't comment on how effective they are.

Stay away from these if you have a corroded bolt. I broke one of these off in a head one trying to get out the bolt by the water neck on a 5.0. I spend the next 2 days drilling that hardened steel POS out with 2 different carbide bits and a LOT of cutting oil.

I was not talking about an internal easy out, they make a socket style that grips the outside of a nut or bolt.

nah, just drill a hole in the bottom of the oil pan. Let all the oil drain out and just put a bottle of Prolong in

The Viper in the commercial was doin laps around the track with that stuff and no drain plug in
