Looking for assistance in removing the brass oil drain plug from my
recently acquired 1953 TD. The car was stored for approximately 9 years
but runs fine. Evidently the PO had experienced similar difficulty in
removing the plug since there are signs of chiseled notches where
previous have been made to remove it. Unfortunately, being brass, it is
quite soft and vise grips simply gnaw away at the brass leaving me with
quite a rounded plug at this time. Would the application of heat to the
plug or the pan (which expands at the more rapid rate: brass or
aluminum?) be of any value? Has anyone else encountered and conquered
this problem?
