Tranny fill plug ?
http://i49.tinypic.com/34ywrbq.jpg
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this out? A couple of years ago the guy that I had change the clutch thought he would check the fluid level F---d it up, I was shocked because I had it out just a few months before and I didn't tighten it as tight as it was when I got it out. I know I can fill it through the shifter but I would like to get it out. |
Rich, maybe a grinder to slot it ... :-huh

Weld a bolt head to it.
Hammer and chisel |
^^ 2X I would try a hammer and a small, sharp chisel. Get a bite on the outside edge of it and you should be able to get it to work loose. That is, as long as you can get a chisel and hammer in there to it...

mig weld a nut on it. the heat will expand the plug and the aluminum case, let cool a few minutes and put a box wrench on it and remove it.

Are you changing the fluid ? If you are, loosen some bolts on the PTO cover and drain it.

Thanks for all the comments. I think the best one is to weld onto it with the tig, but thats not an option for me as I don't have one or know how to use it.
Hussler i've thought of grinding a slot in it and may try that. If that doesn't work i'll go to the chissel and hammer. I do have access to an acetylene torch, would it be helpful to heat the aluminum around the plug or both or just the plug?l I would have answered this thread sooner but been out of town where I have no internet available . |

Slot makes the most sense to me, since it's sticking out a little from the surface of the case. Should be enough to cut a slot or two around the perimiter, deep enough so you can put a screwdriver or chisel in it at an angle and tap it with a hammer.

I wouldn't waste your time with the grinder and just get the chisel and hammer out. A sharp chisel will make its own slot and even with the slot in there I doubt you will be able to spin it out with a screwdriver. Plus the impact of the hammer and chisel will help jar it loose...
