SS Oil Feedline to Oil Filter, allen plug stuck!

[talonDSMerr]

I was gonna install my ss oil feedline for my turbo to the oil filter today. When i go down under the car and try to remove the allen plug, i had no luck. Even stuck a couple extensions on the allen wrench and took a hammer to it...

i searched the forums, some people say use a torch? wouldn't that catch my car on fire?

any other ideas as to how i can get it off?

Did you strip it out? Heat it up, propane torch or heat gun will work.. As long as you don't have a fuel leak it won't hurt anything to throw a bit of heat at it. Get a drift of some sort and give it a few taps with a hammer, and also try tightening it a bit too if it's not stripped.. All these things will help it brake loose.

you can try an impact screwdriver (not an impact gun)with the allen wrench socket if you have one.

It's not stripped at all at this point, i didn't take it that far. I'll try heating it up, I don't have an impact screwdriver, just manual tools. Where can i find a heat gun/propane torch?

you can buy one at almost any home improvment store or hardware store. My local autozone has them to

Don't forget to give it a few taps.. Something blunt that won't mess up the inner surface. Perhaps a socket on on extension that just sits on the bung.. You just want to give it a few hits to kind of knock it loose, that combined with heat should get it.
