SV: [AT] Oil drain plugs?

[Kessen, Mattias (Road SE)]

I agree but I do wish that the cousin had worked on this trailer 
http://public.fotki.com/Duplobarbaren/misc/im000051.html we have at work. Of course it was a friday afternoon and I was on my way home for some "special work" and I got a lot of work...

Ämne: [AT] Oil drain plugs?


	Has anybody come across oversize or tapered replacement oil 
drain plugs? Its a common problem especially on stuff where 
others often change oil like cars and trucks. "Two Ton 
Torque Ted" works at the local filling station or quick 
change place and he thinks (or just doesn't) that an oil 
drain plug tightened to 150 ft. pounds is loose...   :-)  He 
is a first cousin to that guy that used a 350 ft. pound 
impact wrench on your new aluminum wheels and ruined two of 
them. That guy is responsible for half of the warped brake 
rotors replaced each year.   ;-)
