help, i had a small oil leak comming fron the oil fitting and so i decided to tighten it, but as i was tighten it i guess i tighted it too much and it snapped right off. I can't believe i was so careless. I tried to get a screw extractor kit and hand twist it off but i can't seem to do it, maybe i'm not strong enough......ionno but it seems pretty stuck in there.

has this ever happened to anyone? any tips, advice? thanks

 

pics of the problem please, help us help you

 

if the problem is what i'm thinking of, i had the same issue w/ a turbo i bought. you can take an allen wrench socket that is a little bit bigger than the inside of the hole, and hammer the socket into it and just unscrew it. might not work out too well though since it's in a tight space, but it's worth a try. hope that made sense

 

Sorry i don't have a camera, so can't really get any pictures of it

I can't really get any leverage to twist the stupid lil handtool screw extractor kit thing i got from pepboys, so i don't think that allen wrench idea will be any different, thanks though

Anyone have any more advice? i need to go to school tomorrow. Thanks

 

Go back to pepboys and get an intake gaskets set and remove the intake so you can get at it. As I remember you should have plenty of room from underneath if you remove the oil filter.

 

that sucks, next time dont do work on a sunday afternoon if u need your car :P

 

yes..i myself have learned that lesson already

 

would an easy out work ?

 

my brother did that too and he used an easy out. Try that
