If you cannot get the bolt out, then drop the oil pan and take it to a machine shop. They can remove the bolt and then install a helicoil for you. You will not have this problem again with the helicoil installed.

I did the exact same thing, the bolt would not come out so we took the oil pan off and did it that way, we then put a helicoil in and it has been good ever since.

The APS drain plug that comes with the APS pan is a 14mm. The OEM pan is 12mm. So long as the drain hole in the APS pan has not been stripped you can use the 14 mm Fumoto.If it is stripped, tap the hole out and go with the 16mm Fumoto

You need the F-106 which is 14mm x 1.5 thread pitch.
