This is a non-Nova question.
I'd rather not get into the details but I have a problem with my 2005 Impala SS.
I need to change the oil and the drain plug turns but does not loosen. I suspect the nut welded to the inside of the pan is no longer welded.
I guess the right fix is to remove and replace the pan, but that is more trouble than I'd like to get into at this point. Anyone have any success drilling and tapping a new hole?
Too risky with threads in sheet metal?
Anyone use one of the rubber expandable plugs?
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
