Broken BMW M3 Oil Plug Bolt

6/30/2004
I went to change the oil in my car, which happens to have an aluminum oil pan and hollow plug. Since I am too cheap to buy a proper torque wrench, I broke the bolt off in the oil pan like an idiot. I was panicked, since taking the oil pan off is a weekend project involving an engine lift. Fortunately, I was able to jam a screwdriver in the hollow part of the bolt and screw it out very carefully. Woohooo!

Nice trick.....;)
