MY BOLT IS STUCK!!!! and I mean hard. I took it in for a change because I didn't feel like messing with it. had a bad day. so when I get the car back about a month ago, there was a scrath on the side!!! so I went in there and I got like 100 bucks for it!! I didnt know I could do that. anyway. now its time for the 924 to get her fluids changed again and the bolt wont come off. The shop was so stupid as to I think he might even have impact hammered it on.......AAARRGGHH!!!!
anyway. I had a friend back where I used to live that recently pulled the oil filter off his neon and started the engine to get all the oil out....WWAAYYY bad idea I know but. Im losing my patience. HELP!

Where are you located in Tennessee. I have had the same problem a couple of times on other cars, have gottne pretty at getting them off.

First off, get the correct size socket so that you don't round it off. I don't know it off the top of my head but someone else will. Get it with a 1/2 in drive and hook it up to a breaker bar ( very long rachet used for loosening tight bolts).

edit: I just saw that you tried a breaker bar. Maybe you can buy a steel pipe to extend the length of the breaker bar.

17MM I think. Use a 6 sided socket.

Hey NoPeker, wasn't your 924 supercharged in your sig a few minutes ago?

joseph mitro

actually i think it's 15mm.

the oil pan is soft - i would think that torquing the drain bolt on that tight would have stripped the oilpan, but then what do i know?

remember - righty tighty, lefty loosey

WOW. yall are fast!

YES! I GOT IT OFF!!!
along with a spray of warm oil. get this. I put a steel rod on the end of the breaker bar. A tottal of 4 feet! I think I might have broken my oil pan though

edit- YES IT WAS!
I wrote the wrong thing down. I dont even know if its possible to supercharge a 924 is it?

edit again- Im in bristol.

It is. We have at least one supercharged 924 on this forum. I haven't seen him in a couple months though.

Its possible to supercharge anything.

Its just a matter of how much money you want to throw at said project.

So are you female or were you in some kind of horrible accident?

Anyways, glad you got the plug out, hope the pan is ok.

I was thinking of my car, 17MM for mine IIRC...
