That is why you don't remove all of the bolts before pulling the pan
loose. I generally leave at least a couple in and don't back them out
more than 1/4" or so. That way the pan can only move that far when it
comes loose. I'm not against a drain plug, I just think it is a waste
of money and unnecessary.
