They probably dont need to go as far as weling a bar on, but yer...
When looking up are you trying to turn it clockwise or anti clockwise?
the car is raised when you do it right? so you get more leverage?
No its not raised lol. When i look at the sump plug, im turning anti-clock wise. (thats when im upside down under the car)
I thought it wasnt good to raise the car when im under it lol.
My problem here is shit all leverage. Drive way goes downhill from the garage so i put it just out of the garage, so front is higher. I got kind of under it but still not enough leverage.
Should i just jack it up and go for it ?
(im pretty sick of this stupid plug, i think ill just take to mech. )
jack it up and USE STANDS
omg i hate stands... they killed my car....Quote:

K. i quit. ill take to mechanics.
ill stop being a tight arse and pay the price....
wtf?
where are you putting your stands?
there's a spot underneath your side skirts.
It boggles me why people do sump plugs up so tight... they arent structural, or under any stress at all... Screwdriver tight is plenty.
Sorry i was thinking ramps. LOL
stands yea... stands that i dont have, hahaha
theres stands in workshop... not at home lol
Well sorry im telling 1/2 a story
Its a guy i know, Peter's workshop and he has all this kind of stuff that i can use...
You're at a workshop and they don't have a decent socket set and/or breaker bar?
What tha?
Go and BUY stands... Your life is worth more than $40.
No im not at a workshop
I know a guy Peter that has a workshop, and i can borrow things.
But its not open untill 29th jan.
I wont bother taking this stupid plug out, ill take it to mechanics and pay the price like a real person. lol
yes , do that. Clearly you have NFI what to do.
BTW dont overtighten nuts or bolts !
Lol.... your telling me...Quote:

so go go go pay someone lol ! dont risk ur life :)
hahah tomorrow i am!
First thing in morning
close thread if you like ~
lmfao this thread is gold :)
lol go away
Took it to mechanics, he removed sump plug, and changed my oil while i was there, for free. Lol.
What a waist of time and money, i spend like $12 on a 17mm socket, so the mechanic could do it for free. haha
Atleast its done now.... and i have the socket for next time
so what did he do that was different to you? turn it anti clockwise? :p
Lol, a hoist ( so he had a ton of leverage) and a huge braker bar...
