or you could just have somebody weld a bolt on top, thats what i did, btw I'm over here in lake city

i dont think its gonna unscrew.. tried a few things and the whole thing started move. the plug is just so soft that the edges crush in. plyers will grip it then take chunks of metal off. had someone else help and they beat on it and bent the pipe a little.

sucks because i have a new aftermarket plug to put on.

if i did weld it, do i do a full weld around the whole bolt or just tach it?

i had a friend of mine tig a stainless bolt to it around the whole bolt, havent had a problem and its been on an off multiple times

I just welded a 1/2-13 nut in the center, and welded in the middle of the nut (where the threads are), and mine came right off. Usually the heat from welding also helps to break the bond, so it works great if you slap a wrench/socket right on after welding before it's cool.;-)

Yeah I'm gonna try that tomorrow. will an old stick welder do it?
