this afternoon i went to change my oil and for some reason im having a hell of a time. first i crawled under neath and found out that i needed an allen wrench to get the drain plug off, once i found the right size i tryed it and it wouldnt budge. i did it so hard it stripped , now im really pissed, anybody know of a good way to do this thanks

 

What oil are you changing

 

my engine oil

 

also in the manual it says to torque the drain plug to 15lbs , how are you suppose to torque an allen nut?
any help will be appreciated

 

Drill it then tap a screw extractor in it,Then heat it, then try removeing it.
You may have had the wrong size key in it??I dont know??
To torque it ,use a allen key on a socket.

 

do you think it would be a metric or sae size? i was using a metric size if that matters. it seemed to fit well.

 

I could be wrong but isnt the engine oil in a container on the left side of the quad? There's a half inch bolt on it. Just unscrew it and have a bucket handy and all the oil just flows out of it. You shouldnt have to remove the rubber stopper and stuff.

 

I would think metric?

Scram6910,
They moved it,and changed it.
For what reason...Idont know???

 

If you have access to a welder, unhook your battery and weld a nut to your plug and turn it out. Easiest way to do it.

The correct size allen head is 6MM. My 700 was a very early model (#498) and it came with a torx head drain plug, which I also stripped. Polaris must put them in with a damn impact driver. In midstream polaris changed to the allen head drain plug. I took mine back to the dealer and he tapped a one size larger torx head socket into the stripped one and with the help of vize grips he got the stripped one out. I guess you could try the same procedure with yours, using a one size larger allen head. The dealer replaced my stripped torx drain plug with the 6mm hex plug. If all else fails, have your dealer take it out.
