Drain Plug Threads

I have a 1994 FXDWG and the oil drain plug is starting to strip the threads on the pan. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Greg

 

Hi Greg,

Just replace the pan, it’s not that hard to do and can be done in the frame. It’s also not that expensive new from H/D. Do not repair in the motorcycle. Chips of metal will cause damage and the wall of the pan is to thin to properly retain a helicoil or timesert. Do it once, do it right. Wrench Safe, FMH
