i have just bought an 01 honda rubicon 500 there is some problems with it that im working on. but i went to change the oil in it today and when i took the oil screw out of it. it was complety striped. and not the screw its self. the threads in the bottom of the oil pan. now the screw will not thread at all. any ideas on how to fix this? thanks

 

I hope you got this machine cheap! You will have to put a helicoil in the oil pan and get a new drain bolt.

As I recall, there may be TWO plugs that you remove to drain the oil on this particular machine (????), or is that the Rincon?

 

lol yeah i got it for basically nothing.

i was thinking about using a helicoil. but do u this i could drill it out and tap it to a bigger size?

and i am only awear of one oil screw. is there two???

 

Yes there should be two drain plugs.

 

there is two drain plugs. sorry i was wrong. but i just drilled and taped it with a bigger thread size and it worked fine. thanks all
