  |
|
As above - i was about to do an oil change and instead of the sump plug unscrewing, its sheared the "nipple" that contains the thread for the plug
Basically im going to need a new oil resevoir unless anyone has any ideas. And, does anyone know if that res is shared with any other zook products be it farm quads or trail bikes ?? |

| Chase down some "easy-outs" that should get you sorted. |

you can drill it and use an easy out as Outlaw Banshee says, but make sure if it comes loose while you are drilling that it doesn't spin all the way in to the tank as you will have to pull the tank out to get it out.

yeah I was going to add that, they are called mechanics drill bits and they need to spin backwards...
