put a vice grips on the nut to get it out... then change the sump as sugested above. | |

drill a small hole in the sump plug and use a stud extractor to take it out. Once you have done that and drained the oil. Take the sump pan off and check the thread. If it ain't too bad, saw two grooves going up the thread of the sump plug and that should recut the thread. Otherwise invest in a new sump pan. | |

Last time i did this, i drilled a hole in the old sump to drain it, and then took it off and swopped it for a new one. | |
