oilpan removal FLHTCU Q
The threads in the the drain finally gave up the ghost. Can the oil pan be removed without removing engine/trans? No room to helicoil/timesert it in place.

My service manual says that it can be removed but the front of the engine may need jacking up to clear the cross member. Try a new drain plug before you remove the oil pan.

Mine did the same thing,only it was the tranny drain plug. Actually I think it was already bad when I got it cause it showed signs of teflon on the drain plug. So 2 fluid changes back when I did my service,my local indy sold me an oversize plug and tap.I was a little nervous about ruining the whole damn thing so I used teflon again and never had a leak.I check it religously.Still not sure what I'll do this week when I service everything.
