so i went to change my oil today and i could not get the bolt off the truck was still warm but it wouldnt come off i know that sounds lame me having a problem changing my oil but it is what it is the threads were lined up correctly when the bolt went on

 

Put a cheater pipe on the wrench. Mine seems to stick pretty tight, I sometimes have to use a 1/2" drive breaker bar to get it out and I always put it in with a ratchet...

 

i rounded off the nut

 

D'oh! Well, try going after it with a pipe wrench after you buy a new drain plug.

 

Junk tools or you were using standard. It's metric, 18mm IIRC.

 

YDRC.

 

i have tried that too i think i need to drill it out? it just slips off the nut before it spins it is like someone jb welded it in lol idk what to do

 

If you have a welder, weld a nut to it so you can get a real wrench on there.

 

thats a good idea but i do not have a welder

 

mine was like that when i bought the truck.....i used vise grips and put them on sooooo tight i could barely squeeze them then i pecked it loose with a hammer....then with the plug out i welded a nut over top of it....i have to use an 1, 1/4" socket to change my oil....

 

wow thats extreme

 

i'm hardcore, it works!

 

Drilling it out would be your absolute last choice. I'd find someone with a welder and weld a nut to it.

 

you could use a tool that was made for removing rounded lug nuts too. its like a socket with heavy rifling (the best discription i could come up with) hammer it on and bites hard when you twist ccw.

 

I had to weld a short bolt to mine. The PO had a real mess with a rounded off plug too. I'm really amazed at how many hackers are out there. I mean I won't put up with that for 5min let alone years.

Bought a nice plug from Geno's and life is grand.
