Has anyone got any advice on how to get a rounded off sump bolt out i currently have the sump plate off to gain better access

I would try to knock it loose with a chisel on the edge.

sharp tap with a chisel

Thanks for your replys guys , Just need to be carefull not to crack the sump ,

Could you cut a slot in the sump plug with a dremel so you can place some flat bar into the slot and turn the bar with an adjustable, then replace the plug with new.

Yeah was thinking of doing that jfc , got the new plug ready to go back in also how easy is the bash plate to put back on

Good luck with the bash plate !

Try to bang it/bend it back into shape as best you can befor you attempt to refit.

Ratchet straps and temporary threaded bar. If the straps do not pull the sump close enough then fit the back sump guard bolts through the sump guard and into the frame, cut the threaded bar to two suitable length pieces and thread into the front fixings through the sump guard, the wind the sump into position with nuts and washers on the threaded bar. Once the sump guard is in position remove one threaded bar at a time and replace with the original fixings (if it is really bad you may need to clamp the plate once it is in place while you remove the threaded bar)

The bash plate doesn't look in to bad of condition so fingers crossed it will go on okay ,but i appreciate your advice , Will try get the sump plug out tomorrow

Search on Ebay for 'irwin bolt extractor' - Well worth the money, last a lifetime and I've never seen them fail.

think they are more for bolts and nuts ,at a quess i think hes removing an allen type bung ,,but the irwin rounded head removing sockets do work very well

You may well be right, in that case, equally impressive are irwin Screw type extractors , be out in no time!

If a chisel is too easy, if you have to spend money a T-50 torx would stand a better chance removing the drain better than an extractor.

By the way the T50 is for an 8mm. Can`t remember if it was a 6mm or 8mm.
