Coolant Drain Plug Issues... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello everyone.

i have a bit of a problem. i was draining the coolant out of my system ('97, 7A-FE), and when i tried loosening the engine block drain plug, it was so tight that i ended up rounding off the head. and now when i try to unscrew it, the socket just slips.

is there anything i can do about this?

(this is my first post, btw)

leave it alone in all honesty, if you break it off because it's stuck then what? Just drain from the radiator hoses and do another coolant drain and fill in a year.
