EBPV delete issues
Anyone ever have a 20mm freeze plug TOO BIG?
I did the delete on my 97 2 years ago and I got (5) 20mm plugs. Used one and had 4 left over.
Well tonight I am doing the delete on my new 97 and the free plug is too big. Will NOT go. I destroyed 2 so far.
Anyone else have this issue and what size freeze plug did you go with?
Please help I NEED the truck back together for friday I have to run to South Carolina

Just did this myself 2 weeks ago and used the 20mm freeze plug. It was a little large, but took a dremel to the outside of the plug and in the hole just a bit. After that it was a socket just smaller than the inside of the freeze plug and a hammer for persuasion. Destroyed the first one, but the second one caught and went straight in.
Good luck with this.

I had this issue when doing my ccv mod. I just got another plug from a different parts store. Tolerances might differ slightly enough to matter
