Water seperater stripped

[tylerb05]

How do I get my water seperater off stripped. I just need to drain the water cause my wif light came on. I just need to drain it till my updated one comes in.. Any ideas

which plug do you have, one is a finger tight style that sticks out, the other is flush and uses a 6mm allen to remove, i believe both have the allen hole.

6mm Alan wrech tried unscrewing. But seems pretty stripped .

Some have tried JB weld ing the wrench to the plug. Some have had success, others have bought a new cover plate. Not much room in there.

If you have to get a new manifold plate, it isn't the same as a stock one for your 03. They eliminated the fuel heater.

i was going to suggest trying a 7mm, or the equivelant standard size allen with some persuading to enter the stripped hole.
