Reardiff Posted Tuesday at 06:24 AM Posted Tuesday at 06:24 AM Went to change oil on the 2011 forester and found this monstrosity. Other than pumping the oil out does anyone have any suggestions to get this out. It clearly used to be a 14mm. I’m wondering if that’s the original paint on it? cheers Fraser
Mr B Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM What I do in these scenarios is first try knock on a 13mm, if that no go try some grip/rounded fastener sockets & if that still no go mig weld a nut to the plug head and semi gently air impact it out . If you got decent quality vise grip pliers you might do it with them but it likely chew it up real bad leaving it only suitable for welding nut on . 1
Reardiff Posted Tuesday at 09:12 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 09:12 PM Thank you will give that a go. I’ve got some knipex which may do the job if other sockets don’t work
