I am one to talk about luck....

I was changing the oil this afternoon and the oil drain plug was in there pretty tight so I give it a good pull and I could feel the hex head starting to strip through the aluminum of the oil drain plug. I immediately stopped and reversed the hex bit out.

Then I cussed.

I figured that I would get one more decent pull before it completely stripped out. So, I got out my propane torch and heated it pretty well. Then with one fairly easy pull, it came loose. I had a spare oil drain plug in the workshop so no worry there.

Whew! Dodged that bullet.
