Ok those more experienced and wiser than I (which means the entire list I'm sure) - We have a situation where the oil drain plug will not budge. Have sprayed it with PB blaster and tried and tried but the darn thing wont budge. We were afraid of rounding off the nut end so gave up temporarily. It's so stuck that I twisted the nub off of my socket adaptor trying to get it out. The van has been sitting for close to 2 years and I think the last time the oil was changed it was done at an oil change place (I know, I know) so they may have impact wrenched it on there tight to begin with. Any tricks or advice on getting this thing loose without messing it up or God Forbid twisting the head off? -- Thanks, Jeff '90 Carat (Grover) '86 (We call this one Parts) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus
