Erwins cope with sump plug?
Think the Terminator must have tighten and rounded the sump plug on my daughter's KV6. Just about tried everything in my toolbox including trying to weld a larger nut over the bolt head: welds didn't hold. Heard many good things about Erwins but before I splash out on a set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IRWIN-394...YAAOSwiTRc39Zp does anyone think they won't do the job?

Thanks Steve, your link was cheaper. Funny you should say 15mm as the one giving me grief has/had a 13mm head, might have been changed at some time for a locally available one.
Keep well |

I had the same problem - got it off very easily. They're great bits of kit.

Yes I have always found them to be 15mm and always change the washer if not both plug & washer.

Run the engine up to temp too, the warm oil will help.

[QUOTE=vitesse;2816765]Thanks for the input - too late I'm afraid as already ordered from Arctic's link -

Mike you can do what I tend to do with the 3/8 size socket, I use the end in a socket which can either be 1/2" or 3/4" if access allows it Therefore fit the tool into the best socket & size the job will allow 1 2
