Blue.. if you're still able to lurk there's hope my friend.Your not the only one this has happened to. My neighbor,unlike yours, was actually helpful. He sent me right over to the Army surplus store for some reclaimed C4 and det cord. If you use just a small amount around the edges and insert just a spliced offpiecethe det cord, it'll blast that plug right out of there. This is a proven fix.Good luck.

Thanks for the info on JBWeld, I just called my wife's dentist and asked if he could use it on my wife's next filling.

I was surprised no one suggested using JB weld on the cresent wrench to prevent rounding the head. Doubles as an alternate foot peg too!

ORIGINAL: UGGA

You've really got to be stupid putting JB Weld on the outside of the drain plug. What an ignoramus. Everyone knows that you're supposed to poor the stuff inside the oil filler tube. It will then work it's way to the bottom of the motor and seal the drain plug from the inside. That's just common sense.....
