Very often, fingers just won't fit anywhere near the drain hole and a tool extension is needed.That is when caution is required. Make contact, rotate the plug slowly, counterclockwise, until it seats with a noticeable "clunk", then carefully rotate to engage.Good luck.
x2 big time! You can still use your fingers with a tool extension. When you "counter-rotate" it may only be a noticeable "bump" as opposed to a "clunk" but that's the idea. Unfortunately, it's too late for that.Aluminum is not very forgiving and prone to accept mistakes with less protest than steel. JB Weld IS awesome but heli-coils are awesome too. In a pinch a thick wrap of silicone tape can get you home but is not a durable fix.Good luck with your repair!
