The first set is the set I was talking about.

Meh.
Clamp on to the bolt by whatever method you prefer.
Get the oil or pan good and hot... by driving or torch.
Then hold some dry ice on the bolt for a couple minutes.
Then hammer at it.

Is the pan aluminum or steel?
I agree with getting the bolt hot if it's a steel pan. If it's aluminum you could make matters worse by heating it.

'04 is steel.
07-13-2013
Oh ok. Wasn't sure.
07-13-2013
Yep, its steel. Tried heating it with no luck. This by far the most stubborn bolt I have ever dealt with in my 16 years of working on my own cars. Maybe I should just drill and tap a new hole ha ha

Suck the oil out through the dipstick.

I also thought about this too. But there is a small drip from the plug,in fact the only oil drip. So I would like to get a crush washer in there.Originally Posted by GTP in RTP

Did you get a set of those erwin bolt extractors yet? I haven't had one fail me yet. Even on round cold roll at work.
07-13-2013
Not yet. I plan to pick up a set today or tomorrow.

Hammer on the smallest size that will fit.
Then give'er hell. I'm pretty sure it'll come out.

Use a pipe wrench. The longest one you can get on the bolt and still turn the wrench.

6-POINT SOCKET ONLY, maybe try both metric or sae?
07-13-2013
Neither. One of these

Twizted1, those look very similar to the Irwin set that Autozone has. I have a credit at Autozone and plan to get the set today or tomorrow. I figure it will be the most reliable and hopefully easiest way to get the plug out.

You hit the Nail right on the head.
The set below it are from matco, same thing just deeper and more of a selection.
I think that's going to be your easiest way to get that out. Be sure to use the one that feels like it barely wants to start on the bolt. Then Hammer the **** out of it.
Put your Biggest 3/8"ratchet on it and go to Strainin!! Lol

use a cheater bar if you have room to get under there for some extra leverage
