ok so what are my options here?
my honda crv has a transmission drain plug which is a SQUARE drive 3/8 size. meaning you do not use a socket or allen wrench to get it off, you insert a 3/8 square drive wratchet into the nut's head and turn.
well it wouldnt budge so i turned harder and harder untill the square portion of my wratchet twisted off and it stuck into the drain bolt.
i have a mig welder, i COULD weld a piece of thick angle iron onto the plug and hit it with a hammer, but i am a little scared of welding on the trans. the transmission case is aluminum, and barring a meltdown, what if i heat up and or burn somthing inside the transmission?
i dont care about burning the oil, as i am going to change that out.
so what other options do i have?
