[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 1038937, member: 58941"] They make oversized drain plugs and taps. Like Eddie said, you need to pull or use a fork and pry outward on the bolt and you remove it. You "Might" get lucky and be able to re tap with the right 14mm tap, OR if you can clean the threads up, put in a oil drain valve with silicone as a back up and run that in there. I have also seen shops weld on bungs and do other creative things to save the pan from being removed. [/QUOTE]
