stripped primary case drain bolt...suggestions please?
My Dyna's primary case drain bolt is officially stripped. It was a 3/16 hex but the edges are rounded out. Any suggestions on how to remove it and replace it? Thanks for chiming in!

Get an easy out or a left handed drill bit.

Tack weld a tool to the drain plug, it may not be the ideal method, but it will work. Make sure you dont have any fuel leaks around the work area.

What he said. Your best solution. Done it before more than once.

If you do this, make sure to disconnect battery and ecm.

You could try hammering in a large flat end screwdriver or a torx to get the bolt out...
