Since March, i've only ever filled my gas tank up more than half a few times. Every time, it leaked. It wouldn't leak as soon as i put gas in, but when it's been sitting in the driveway for a few hours. I put the car up on ramps today to take a peak and it seems to be coming from the charcoal...

What a nightmare this was. I figured i would make a post about my issues with this to possbibly help others that face this same issue... First of all, i bought a car a couple of months ago because i needed another car. I figured after the snow stopped i would do an oil change. Easy, right...

Update: I was able to get the bolt off. Pipe wrench couldn't do it by itself because the bolt was too short for it to grab onto. I bought this bolt extractor kit: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximu...81207p.html#srp I had to put the extractor on, then use a pipe wrench to get it off...

Figured I would wait to reply until I get to doing the oil. Vice grips just slip right off of it and the pipe wrench that I borrowed won't hook on properly and just slips off.

Ok, bolt and washers should be here tomorrow. I just needed some ideas before i tackle it, in case it's really hard to get off... Would hammering a 6 pt socket on it with a breaker bar be a good idea as well? Originally Posted By: Wolf359 How about a 6 point socket? I tried that first, didn't...

Hello, first time posting. I bought an '06 Kia Rio 2 months ago and was told the oil was changed not that long ago. I went out to change it yesterday and realized the bolt was rounded off and rusty. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to get this thing off? I ordered a new bolt and...
