Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - 2005 Duratec 2.0 sump removal

Good evening

I'm having massive issues removing my sump plug as previously it has been siliconed and possibly thread sealed, so am going to resort to using an impact driver. Just in case I break the alloy cast sump pan, does anyone know exactly which pan was used on these cars as looking online, there are many different pans on the Duratec engine? Also, is it an easy job to remove/refit the pan or is it one of those that also fits between the bell housing and engine?

Thanks
Jon

Done it!!!

I used the impact driver on the lowest setting and ithe bolt came away without any issues. Luckily there was no Loctite type thread sealer present. The copper washer had marks on it which suggest it had been reused previously, hence the silicon.
