The oil Filler Plug on my Sy250 is rounded off so i can't get it out. Iam going to have to take it somewhere for them to get it out as i dont have the know how or tools (probably) to do it. But i was wondering how you get out things like this that are rounded off, what sort of process the professionals are likely to use.

Thanks

My sump plug was rounded off by the previous owner, it needed some work doing at Lampkins and they sorted it for me, they use special tools, or grind/hacksaw a slot into them and undo with a screwdriver

Do you mean the plastic filler screw?

If you mean the drain plug, mine's the same. I was going to try taking the sump plate off and filing the faces of the hex head until they fit the next metric socket size down, which I think will be 11mm.

If anyone has a better idea I'd love to hear it.

Good luck anyway.

If memory serves me right the sump plug is 13mm. I had the same on mine, I hammered a 12mm socket on it. Some people weld various things on to help too.

USE A SIX POINT SOCKET! And you'll never round it out.

Ive managed to drain the oil from the filler cap, and refill it, ill wait till i next have to change it, then get it sorted, thanks for all your help.
