I pulled the oil metal mesh basket today and I was a little panicked to see that it looked like this. The metal center where the the bolt goes thru looks deformed to me, is that normal? The mesh itself I had to crush a bit removing from the metal plate and I used a new one. I'm praying that the previous owner did *not* over torque that bolt, how can I tell if this is the case? Also, how do you guys remove rounded bolts? The oil drain plug is near impossible to get off with the state it's in right now.

I just removed a rounded drain-plug last night on my son's car - not a Porsche - after he had previously taken the car to a quick oil change place and they rounded the drain-plug off. I used a good quality pair of vice grips clamped on very tightly and tapped the plug with a small hammer and then it came loose. Got lucky IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
