Question:

Removing steel threaded plug from aluminum?

Anyone out there know any tricks?I have a edelbrock performer intake and the threaded hole for the temp sensor has a steel plug that's refusing to come out and will likely just strip the hex shapeI hear aluminum can corrode to the steel

Answer:

As long as it's not international.
why not it's not like they'll feed you bring a drink too it won't cost you 2.00 dollars
The sandwhich will be fine, they shouldn't have a problem with thatAs for the water you can usually buy water from the airport after you pass through security and customsInternationally they wont let you bring any water bottles through security, they are really strict.
Sandwiches are fineWrap it in a plastic bag instead of foilFor water, take an EMPTY water bottle or two and fill them after you go through security at a water fountain in the boarding areaYou can use a Coke or Pepsi bottle or whatever you haveJust have it empty when you go through securityRegards, Dan
Anti-sieze compound should have been used when the plug was put inIf the head strips, you may have to drill a hole and use an extractorYou might try soaking it overnight with penetrating oil.
