Default Oil drain Bolt and FLP Headers - will it come out? Pic Inc

Do you all think this bolt will come out with a little prying on the header or will I have to grind the bolt head?

Yes I know the underside of my sons car is dirty and there is apparently an oil leak as well.

It should come out the threads aren't that long. Good luck not burning yourself if it how.

Looks like it might. Might be worth the lost oil to try it now while you're working on the car. But I bet it will.

I doubt it will come out without prying. That gap between the header and the bolt is about half as long as the bolt actually is.

I expect that with some prying it will come out. While doing a search here most say it will but otheres do grind the head of the bolt down a bit. I was hopeing someone would have the same situation and tell me for sure.

My FLPs are close like that too and I've never had a problem getting the bolt out. It's not threaded all the way down

Mine come pretty close, but the plug comes out easily.
