I used a 5 gallon fuel can and an old house tank vacuum cleaner for a
make-shift "Topsider" that worked surprisingly well considering that the
plastic 5 gallon can collapsed under the leaky vacuum. The hand pumped
Topsider did not appeal to me, but you should be able to substitute an
electric
I think I’m going to try that actually!

I’m not a huge fan of the topsider. I have one and the pump failed and I
remember it taking forever to drain!

Why not replace the drain pan? I bought one for $28 IIRC.

I wouldn't think it likely that you will set the engine oil on fire in
the length of time it would take to weld something onto the plug. Why
not use a Nut rather than a socket. Just hold it up there with vice
grips and weld in the middle of the nut.

Since the drain plug head is already destroyed, I'd try one of those
sockets meant for removing rounded-off bolts. They have teeth that bite
into the fastener, and I've had good luck with them. Available at Harbor
Fright or probably any big box store.

Yup like the idiot that I am I rounded the oil drain plug on the 90 300D 2.5.
It was in bad shape to begin with and tight so there you have it. I haven’t
done anything this stupid since my early twenties when I started wrenching on
cars. My plan of attack is to weld a cheap 13 mm socket onto it
Got my first (Moderna) shot yesterday. Benefit of my wife volunteering at the

I got my first Pfizer dose almost 2wk ago, no reaction whatsoever except for
minor soreness at the injection site (a former nurse relative says get it in
your dominant arm as more motion will help alleviate that more quickly). I’m
reading that the first dose makes a good part of the antibodies
I’ll take what they’re giving, as long as it works. A couple of percentage
points either way isn’t going to make a difference.
