Plug.

Which piece is stripped plug or pan? I have thread chasing kit? Ok no wise cracks @Mogwai

 

[RET2]

I'll make sure I have the correct size, is it 10,12 or 14mm

Gotta spend a weekend with the wife! Gotta remember you're the side chick.

Be a good twink and bring daddy-bear a beer.

Ewww, a metric tap should work if just chasing threads, but? Perhaps pulling pan a welding a nut on it?

Thx. See you guys Sat @ 9am.

@RET2 welds a mean nut. I'm sure @Phulcrum does too though. Two peas in a pod those two I tell ya.

Another solution would be to drop the pan and install a Fumoto style drain valve with a nut threaded on the inside of pan as that type of valve has a longer threaded portion that intrudes into the pan farther? You wouldn't ever have to unscrew anything to change your oil.

Lets take a look at it and see. I will bring new oil. I heard you have to lower the tranny to access the pan...

ok, which day works best for you all? I will probably be out there both days as Randy has a lot to do.

Also, we should divy up the food /beer requirements and such.

I'll bring up some breakfast Burritos

Waayyyy to much info for a Friday morning. Maybe you can answer the access issue seeing as you are in the Hundy Tribe?

Access will depend on what type of Tranny you have...

 

[Surfoverland]

I will bring the Tranny's

You may want to rethink/consult with Tim before potentially disabling you vehicle in his driveway. It's a long walk to O'side if things go south with the oil drain plug issue? I won't be able to be there till maybe noon-ish FWIW.

What time y’all starting?
