Tomas Gunnarsson helped me get the stuck drain plugs out after I've 
twisted the heads off. We stuck a nut of the proper size against the 
block, so that you would see the end of the plug/bolt through the hole, 
and then Tomas used the MIG welder to weld the nut to the plug/bolt. By 
filling the nut to the brim it was heated enough to ease the extraction.

Worked like a charm!
