| Post subject: | Coolant drain plug removal |
I am working on removing the block drain plug. The engine is a 66, I think, and the plug probably has never been out. I removed the paint from the threads and soaked it in penetrating oil for a week. The engine is in the car. I got the right front wheel off. I am using a manual impact wrench, a few extensions, and a sledge hammer. Is it possible to crack the block this way? The impact socket is right up against the block. UPDATE: I put a breaker bar on it and it didn't move. Then I hit the breaker bar while putting 50-60 foot-pounds of pressure on it, and it came loose! |
