Why not use the stock oil feed location? This is on a 2g right?

no its on a g1

Ok. its probably just old and stuck in there. Soak it down with pb blaster for a while and if that doesen't work you can weld a bold onto it wo spin it out. Or jbweld one on.

Worst comes to worse you can drill it and use an eazy out

you think that will work i used some lube on it going to try the bolt thing now thanks i hope that works

It should. Just dont use a torch in that area as it will coke any oil residue in the housing which you dont want

I'll be relocating my oil feed to the oil filter housing soon as well for my FPGreen. Road Race Engineering sugguests lightly heating the area up with a propane torch:

I'm hoping that mine comes off easily, but if I have to, I'd heat it up (minimally). Good luck man.

Try drilling it out. Just be careful how deep in you go. Start with a very small bit and work your way up until the bold basically disintegrates. Or drill and try an easy out
