Title says it all....stripped the drain plug, tried to remove with easy out, and it snapped in a 1/2 second....now it is stuck in there pretty good.

If I were to drill a new hole right next to the existing drain plug,would I hit anything? I'd keep it at the same position so the 3 or 4 o'clock fluid filling technique works, but move it toward the outside of the bike some?

Any ideas?

 

wow thats sound like what i did on something totally differnt. i would bet there is something in the way of drilling a another hole maybe. try to look at a parts break down of one or maybe someone w/ extensive knowledge of one of them will know for sure.

 

you can drill another hole,but it has to be exactly in the same circle cause there is a bearing race to+fro...........................................

 

whaddaya mean 'the same circle'? you mean the same exact distance from the edge?

 

Sounds like a bad day bud. Yes he means it has to be the same distance from the edge of the hub where the cap screws on. Every time i filled the fluid up i would put a little dab of antiseise on the threads.

 

yeah,when you take it off,you'll see bearing races on either end.right next to the hole..........

 

yeah this sucks. i found a hub in great condition i almost wonder if i should snag it for 75 bucks.....

 

just drill the hole right next to the other,right next........
