    oil changing

    Guys I have a 1995 Yamaha 350 big bear 4-wheeler that the oil drain plug is messed up. Sockets will not hold on it to screw off. Any ideas on how to get it removed.

    Maybe a vice grip?

    grip tite sockets, and replace it when you do get it out.

    I wouldn't dare try to get it out with an EZ out but it might be worth a try with vice grips or like said above the grip tites might be a good idea

    Prolly too late on this one but I'd go get a new one first ! Then beat the messed up one off with a screw driver and hammer.
