I thought about putting this in the post below about the easy-outs, but thought I had better post a new thread for maximum exposure. I have a broken drain plug I need to remove in the belly of my C transmission. I started out innocently enough with a portion of the plug broken out, but thought I could get a good enough bite to remove (1/2 inch square drive inserted into the plug). I soon had about 2/3rds of the plug broken and now there is literally nothing left of the plug to get hold of. Tried a chisel on it thinking I could get a good enough bite to back it out, and just broke more off. Any ideas on getting the remains out so I can change the over 50 year old oil, and replace the broken drain plug? Note: I do not have a stick welder available, so all bets on using a welder are off. Should I try to drill, or break the rest out of the trans housing, or is the risk too great of damaging the housing beyond repair? All suggestions appreciated.

before Idid a lot of extra work I would get a left handed drill bit and try it. It might get a bite while drilling and spin it out

Oh yea, you might get your angle grinder out and get that surface flat first and then pilot drill with a 1/8" drill first.

great idea idea scotty....I thought of drilling the hole, but for some reason the left hand tap, and bolt never crossed my mind. I knew I would get a workable solution here. I knew I had better add that I did not have a stick welder as I knew that would be one of the first suggestions. (I do want to acquire one someday though) I am going to print your response for my shopping list at Napa. Guess I had better find a plug as well....anyone know the size and thread of plug that will work in there? Would a standard size pipe plug work?

FC, I believe that plug is cast iron. Drill a 21/64 hole through the bottom, let oil drain out, that will take awhile on small hole like that.While your waiting for the oil to drain, go down to your local NAPA dealer and buy a 3/8-24 thd left hand tap and tap the hole. While your at NAPA get a 3/8 24 LH hex head bolt. I will let you figure out the rest.

Yes Scotty Ill remember this one the left hand tap takes the left hand drill bit idea further and It is a drainplug so its not rusted in.Im making a mental note to keep that size on hand for future use.
