Stripped drain

[shine]

So I went to go change my oil at 4000 miles and i find out the last guy (my uncle) tightend the oil drain plug to tight...He said i can re tap it with a oversized plug, but Harly said i need to buy a new swingarm... Any suggestion????

retap oversized...

or weld it, drill it, retap it with original size.

Would Heli-Coil work for this if you sealed it in there?

[LeFox]

don't know...never used/needed to use it [smirk]

but i would guess that the 2 options i posted earlier would be more reliable [confused]

Ya I got an oversized plug to tap it.. That has been the best recommendation from everyone!

So I picked up a 14mm plug from a car...its pitch is the next size up from ours..(I'll post the pitch and tap i used & PIC)

Wish me good LUCk:D
