[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 17832, member: 40"] Ok, there are three drain bolts if its a 4st, back left rear is oil drain, bottom is short screen and left side is long screen. Dont worry about getting it out for the short term and ride it. It does need to come out tho. The proper way to remove the bolt if you dont know is to first hit it with a socket and hammer with a moderate strike to relieve the tension in the threads. Then unscrew. I have not had one stick, YET. I have replaced one with the 13mm bolt head and it is probly a good upgrade to get away from the allen head. Getting it out can be any of the suggestions. Just be careful to not jack up the threads. I would first try the next larger allen in SAE threads or metric in a SOCKET allen, drive it in with a hammer. If that doesnt do it then cut, drill, whatever works. [/QUOTE]
