lineaway Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I would try to knock it loose with a chisel on the edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfc Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Could you cut a slot in the sump plug with a dremel so you can place some flat bar into the slot and turn the bar with an adjustable, then replace the plug with new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarboroughbeta Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah was thinking of doing that jfc , got the new plug ready to go back in also how easy is the bash plate to put back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Good luck with the bash plate ! Try to bang it/bend it back into shape as best you can befor you attempt to refit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Ratchet straps and temporary threaded bar. If the straps do not pull the sump close enough then fit the back sump guard bolts through the sump guard and into the frame, cut the threaded bar to two suitable length pieces and thread into the front fixings through the sump guard, the wind the sump into position with nuts and washers on the threaded bar. Once the sump guard is in position remove one threaded bar at a time and replace with the original fixings (if it is really bad you may need to clamp the plate once it is in place while you remove the threaded bar) Edited December 18, 2013 by jfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerorev3rev4 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Search on Ebay for 'irwin bolt extractor' - Well worth the money, last a lifetime and I've never seen them fail. think they are more for bolts and nuts ,at a quess i think hes removing an allen type bung ,,but the irwin rounded head removing sockets do work very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilbert93 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 You may well be right, in that case, equally impressive are irwin Screw type extractors , be out in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 If a chisel is too easy, if you have to spend money a T-50 torx would stand a better chance removing the drain better than an extractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 By the way the T50 is for an 8mm. Can`t remember if it was a 6mm or 8mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
