Snapped oil sump plug

[Nickmcstein988]

, I've just bought a kymco agility 50 58reg, I tried to take the sump plug out to change the oil but it was too tight and it rounded, I've already tried using removal kit but I made it worse and snapped the head off, as it's a hollow plug I am insure how to remove it. I've already bought a new sump plug bolt, ideas please

If you have not tried using an internal-type extractor, might consider removing the engine dipstick, draining the oil into a container while laying the scooter over (perhaps on grass), and center-drilling what remains of the plug.

If you have gotten this far without success then you may want to take it to a mechanic.
In the future be sure to use the correct box end wrench or socket to keep from rounding the points off.
Also remember "lefty-loosey.  Righty-tighty" for those situations when the mind goes blank.

Good luck with the repair.  Don't let this setback end your maintenance in the future.

scoot safely,

Is this the part that is stripped?
If so, see his fix.....

That's what I thought too. The inner threaded part will just spin out. I have had a few break, and all of them were no trouble after the 'cap" broke off.

Just suppose someone glued in the threaded bit. You can use a sharp cold chisel, and break away enough to remove the main piece.
The QMB 139 plug fits, and is around 5 bucks.
