Default lower unit fill/drain plug stuck


"Binder Dundat" wrote in message

I am trying to remove the drain and fill plugs (slotted head) off my
1991 Johnson 45 HP Commercial outboard but they are seized and I have
more or less stripped the head. Can I heat the screw or will this ruin
the seal? Anyone have any ideas of how to get these screws out?
Thanks


You can heat and buy a new seal. Get a hammer impact hammer.
