I feel a little dumb asking this because I can not get this fill bolt out. Im using a impact gun with a universal and it still wont budge. Any suggestions?

 

Not to be a wise ***, but are you sure you're spinning that impact gun lefty-loosey, not righty-tighty? Never had trouble with one of those plugs using either a ratchet/socket or combo wrench.

 

Lol no you are wise but I did double check when I was down there. I have a habit of it. Its a 600ftlb gun I know i loose a little with the universal but man. I dunno what to do now. Heat it?

 

Try a breaker bar?

 

Breaker bar, six point socket, and cheater pipe? Maybe a little heat from a propane torch? That oughta do it.

 

I hope you didn't drain it first.

I'd heat it with a propane torch and try a long breaker bar.

 

Id heat it just enough to soften any threadlock or goop the PO might have used, then cool the bolt with a blast of wd40 or any other aerosol and have at it with impact socket and big ****** breaker bar.

 

Basically what they said; 6 point 1/2" drive socket & breaker bar. Marinate the plug in PB blaster first & let it sit a while. If that doesn't get it, then heat it with a propane torch to loosen whatever thread lock compound or sealant a PO or prior idiot mechanic might have used. Be very careful with the torch; given how close the gas tank is.

 

I've never had one of those fill plugs seize in the housing. What kind of impact gun are you using? I usually just use my Ridgid electric impact on those and they pop right out. You can try and breaker bar and a short socket. Deep well sockets reduce torque output. Be sure to get a new crush washer for the plugs.

 

 

 

Or the vent? I've never tried it that way, but you should be able to take the cap off. Just don't put more than 1 1/2 qts in.

 

Get it out yet?
Mine is out but someone stripped the thread.

 

After two years one can only hope.

 

Probably sold the car lol.
