How to get a broken plug out of an oil pan?

I twisted off the the top and the rest is still left in there, flush with the oil pan, what do I do?How to get a broken plug out of an oil pan?
Drill the centre of the bolt and insert an Easy-out, this is a tap with a spiralling thread that runs in reverse.


Insert and turn slowly, this should unscrew the remaining part of bolt/plug.


2/ Remove the sump and do the same from the other side.


I am concerned that you have sheared of the top of the sump bolt, did you attempt to turn it in the wrong direction? Check before you attempt to carry on.


If all else fails, replace the sump pan and make sure you use a new sump bolt and washer.

Bud Light, hammer, cussing
probably need a whole new pan
Drill it and use an easy out. It was probably put in cross threaded.


Drill hole all the way through. Let oil drain. Now you can heat it or keep drilling bigger holes then rethread the hole.
Think- You drill into the old Plug, then you tap it with a Tool for removing it- same as for a Head Bolt-
It depends on how handy you are....





If you have access to a drill, and are able to get up under the car with jackstands, or better yet, a lift, you can drill a hole in the plug itself. Then you can insert an E-Z out tool available at an auto parts store, to twist the plug out. It can be a pretty tricky ordeal.





The alternative is to buy a new oil pan from a junkyard, or your dealer/parts store.





Good luck.
ohh!! thats bad, bust out the drill they do make universal oil plugs wich work great , or just get a new oil pan
If you have wire welder to your diposal.Weld a washer to the left over bolt and tack a old nut to that and they usaully twist out. If there is any part of the bolt sticking out you can cut a slot in it, heat it up and twist it out with a screw driver. With a little heat they usaully spin out fairly easily.
Take the pan off and drill the plug out. Then re-tap the hole and get a different plug. Or just take the pan off and try to find one for cheap like at a junk yard.
