Well I finished the work and Im going tu upload several pics of it, Im going to start with the parts I used or fabbed then with the parts mocked up and then the final set up. There are some pics of the infamous plug and the new one and the tools I had to use to pull them with the WP in the vise. Also I made the KAWA (Rog) Shroud mod:

First the tools I used to unbolt the infamous WP plug and the old and new WP:

What is the WP plug size. I need to get mine out and don't want to remove the entire WP. It looks like a standard 3/8" pipe plug. Can anyone tell me what size the socket to remove it? I can get one but I need to know what the Size is.

That would be great. I need to know if it is metric... or sae. I put a 12 point 7/16 socket on the square head. It holds but a little sloppy. Might slip if a lot of pressure is applied so I will need to get a square socket that will fit.

I twisted a swivel in half so I need some idea of how someone else removed that plug.

Well, I tried to remove the plug with the WP installed and was impossible.

, and even in the vise was difficult and with a big pipe wrench as you can see in the pics of the first post. So good luck.

What is the purpose of the pre charged coolant filter? Is it ok to use one at every filter change? Or when is one normally used?

Depending on which filter you use, some dump all the SCAs in, and some release the SCAs as needed.

Wix makes Napa filters, so they are the same. I can't remember for sure, but I think the 4070 is just the filter, the 4071 has 1 unit of SCA, the 4072 has 2 units. I don't remember the bran of filter that is release on need. It is something like Penray.

Yes you are correct. But what I want to know is how the units effect my system and do I need the units? The also have a 4071T and I have no idea of what the T is,.
