I cross threaded the grease bolt on my motor. Any suggestions on getting it out.

Seriously though. Damage is done. Take it out and run a tap thru to clean up the threads. That or throw the shit fuckin thing away.

What flint said. The bolt and the hole may be bad . If retapping and cleaning the bolt hole up doesn't work what I usually do is tap the hole the next size larger.

Regardless start with a new bolt if you can

Maybe somebody else has a better idea
Been there done that

Got it out. It would not turn. Had to drill it out. I got lucky and I didn't mess up the threads.

I didn't realize I needed a more complex issue to ask for advice.

That is a pipe thread plug. Are the threads messed up or just the bolt head rounded off?

I got it fixed. It is 1/8" pipe thread plug. I crossed it bad and had to drill it out. I used a smaller bit and when it was almost completely drilled it started turning. The threads were damaged but I retapped them and the same size plug fits.
