Sump Plugs

[Fat Audi 80]

David, have you been chewing on that???

only lightly...

meant to say before laptop battery died last night, this is what managed to remove it. Its a set only available in the USA it seems, you can buy them online via Sears and are made by 'Craftsman'. Literally fit the size nearest the sha**ed bolt/net you want to remove, smack it on with a hammer, pop a socket over the end and give it your best - took a few attempts to really bite but they DO work.

Also great for removing looking wheel nuts.. :cough couch:

Ah yes, I borrowed something very similar a while back from a mate that owns a garage. IIRC it was from Snap-on.

Or Blue Point rather (same difference!)......

Also works pretty well on chewed up Pozidrive screws too!

I've still got my old Fumoto valve with the nipple snapped off.

Visitors to Billing a couple of years back will remember the one I got was basically the nippleless (ooh err) version with a nipple glued on. The nipple snapped off and dumped all my oil on the road I removed it ( I was using it as a sump return for my catch tank so the valve was open all the time).

I found it in a box the other day if anyone is interested. It's perfectly useable. It just hasn't got the hose connection on it.

I forgot to get this off you at Billing, could you pop it in the post mate?

Also great for removing locking wheel nuts.. :cough couch:
