Broken Oil Drain Plug
Oh I`m pissed....Just putting the final touches to a COMPLETE winter rebuild including RB Head and Carb mods and I snapped off the Magnetic drain plug.
I have started the drilling for a easy out and the remains of the stud is starting to turn with the bit (towards the Inside of the case).
Question, can that stud be retrieved from the clutch side cover should it continue into the case OR will I have to pull the engine and split the cases?
Hoping for the best case but dreading the worst.
Thanks guys!

I think if it goes in the case, you won't be able to get to it unless you split the case. If it's loose, can't you get it out now the regular way?
good luck

How the hell do you snap off a drain plug?

you're lucky you didn't break the case or striped the plug hole. I keep it snug, can't remember how much torque it is (14flb?)

Is this some aftermarket plug? I can't really see the stocker snapping off

Congrats, you got off lucky. My kid did that and stripped the case. I ended up putting a timesert in, but that was mighty expensive for the kit. Glad you got it. I was about to suggest that Sears craftsman extractor kit on the infomercials.

Yeah, I believe it was a Tusk magnetic. They appear to have a steel tip inserted in the bolt end which is the magnetic portion.
The bolt sheared at the transition.
And Yes, I did get lucky.
