Welcome

 

Thank you. Are you a fire chief in beach?

 

No, retired from NJ. Both sons are on the job in VBFD.

 

Very cool, I'm a medic in newport news

 

Hey guys, any you yall live in the westernbranch area of Chesapeake that has a welder and would be willing to help out potentially I have a stripped front diff drain plug and a screw extractor did no work. the idiot I was drilled to far and drilled through the bolt so right she can't move, all the oil is out of the front diff.

 

Man that sucks. No welder but I can help if you need it. Can you get your hands on a big ass extractor and some compressed air? Hit the bolt with the bottle of air held upside down to freeze it (should loosen up the threads as the bolt contracts) then try the extractor.

 

Sounds like a bad day. I have no welder either, but am good at supervising if you need another set of hands

 

Ya day went bad from to worst ended up shearing the extractor off in the plug

 

Sounds like that plug is seriously stuck.

 

Yup... anyone got any ideas?

 

Shit man...

Extractor and welder are the conventional ways of gettting it out...

You can try to notch a side and get a heavy duty screw driver in there and hammer it counter clockwise.

Im in Western Branch and can bring some tools by later this afternoon. Im working late but should be off work by 5-6pmish.
