I thought I used anti seize on them. I'm not sure penetrating spray will do much good since those plugs have a bigger lip on the front of them. kinda to late anyway. I rounded out the inside. Its to tite of a space to get a drill in there and make a hole for a easy out. Those extractors in im's post might work. I'd try them if I had a set. I either just pull the 2-1 off and run the X pipe for a while and see what the difference is or put the other plug back on and continue to use the PC-V. The bike runs good with it.Thanks again for all the tips.

 

if you can find a small pipe wrench, also a sink wrench may get it...

if you decide to go with with wrench make sure you buy a good one ..the cheap ones don't have sharp teeth and won't grip

 

I think I'm going to try attaching a bolt with a hex head using JB weld inside the wollard out part of the plug. once it cures run the bike to heat up the pipe some and the using a 6 point socket try and break the plug loose and take it out. Probably use a grade 5 or 8 bolt.
any thoughts if this could work? Or am I delusional?

 

I would try an oversized allen or torx bit with a torch before removing the header. Heat that plug red hot, drive in the bit, remove the bit, reheat the plug, and turn the plug out like butter.

 

Not a chance!

 

If you can get at it with a chisel and get a good bite on the edge you may be able to loosen it that way. Once you break it loose should turn right out.

 

It's never too late to use penetrating oil, lip or no lip. As a matter of fact, I would be out there spraying it now.

 

Ran into the same problem with my son's 2000 Ultra. Once removed I replaced to plug with and 18 mm oil drain plug from Autozone and a copper gasket. Works great! Remember the anit-sieze.

UPDATE: I tried my brilliant idea above. Sprayed the plug with good penetrating spray. I tried to unscrew the plug and you guessed it the bolt spun off the plug. The JB weld did not hold.
You guys were right. It was a shallow attempt not to remove the pipe. Good news is bikeis not damaged. I put anti seize on thew front plug, screwed it back in and can now ride the bike till I make the switch. Thanks for all the responses.
HARDHEAD ... maybe that will be my new log on name. I prefer that to Dumba**

 

Yup, anti-seize is your friend...
