Didn't think it would be this difficult. I'm trying to drop the pan on my 04 Silverado 4x4 and I have 2 issues.
1. The drain plug is rounded off, I guess this is common being old, crap metal with shallow head and overtightened from the factory.
2. There isn't enough clearance to drop the pan without dropping the exhaust down by removing 3 bolts from each exhaust side.
Does anybody have any tips for removing the rounded off drain plug as well as breaking loose the factory exhaust nuts on the studs?
