Oil Jockeys...
Son in law is doing the first oil change on his "new" 98K Focus. After about 15 minutes comes in and asked if I can help get the oil pan drain bolt off. The previous place that changed it striped off the head so out come the vice grips. No go so I dremel a couple of flats on the bolt. Too soft that rounds off under pressure. So out comes the welder and in a minute or so we are good. This is why I do my own maintenance.

Re: Oil Jockeys...
Holy crap! Geeze. I have replaced many a lug nut and bolts because they are too tight from the tire place and just break off. Seems like you took it personal and turned on the welder lol
