Bongo Fury

I have this and it won't budge ! Got me rubber gloves on and it is really stuck and also
very awkward which is why I cannot get much leverage on it. It faces the ground at the bottom of the water tank. I have a tap problem...it is spinning/dripping and I need to gain access to the rear of the tap to tighten it up.



The only possible thing I can think of is my dad has an oil filter removal tool which you attach to a socket wrench. It has 3 grippers and they swing in to meet the sides and grip the oil filter. I wonder if those 3 gripper might lock up onto the 3 fins on this tank drain plug. It is a long shot at best.

Anyone got any ideas on how to approach it ? Thanks.

i would warm it gently using a plastic picnic cup held to the side of the van with a hole in the side so you can top up with hot water, then let it cool a little then get some small jaw stilsons then with a firm gentle movement, bobs yer uncle.

or when it breaks theres this.

You usually have to push INWARDS before turning these locking caps, its to prevent vibration from undoing them.

Thanks for suggestions so far. I think it looks like the lip of the cap sits on the edge of its hole. It does not look like it will go in to my eye, could be wrong. I don't know what stiltsons are, durrr ! I could not visualize the method northern.

I guess I could poor fairly hot water n that would warm it all up.
