Hi All,
I have a fill plug that was striped round by PO and am looking for suggesttions as to the best method to get this thing out of there. I was in the process of putting an oil bypass (?) hose from the filler of the trans to the filler of the transfer case because I know the seal is no good between the two. I was planning on fixing this problem at a later date when time permits. I went ahead and drained the transfer case oil not thinking to look at the filler plug first
. Is there another way to fill the transfer case with oil so that I can get it to a friend with a welder and I will have a nut welded on what is left of the filler plug and try and remove it this way. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
Brian

Probably the easiest and quickest would be to have your friend load up his welder and bring it over. It would be about 30 seconds worth of work to weld on a nut (it might cost you a case of beer, though). Another option would be to file down the sides so you have some corners to grab hold of with a wrench. That option would take a little longer than 30 seconds.
