Recommendations on how to remove a seized differential fill plug

My part number finding skillz are not what they need to be.

Was glad I saw this @GA Architect and am now getting ready to order them. Just curious what's different about the Transfer Case Gaskets?

Copper on the aluminum housing and aluminum gasket on the steel housings if I remember correctly.

So am I to understand by the thumbs up from @charliemeyer007 and @rainingagain that those part numbers will in fact work on my pigs axels and tranny/transfer case?

You have to speak slowly and use small words so I can follow

My thumbs up was because I had the same question, will these work for my early 40? haha. I guess it's a bit like the facebook laugh emoji button (am I laughing along or at you?).

The last thing I did on my rig was drain the front diff and the plug is a bit rounded. My parts book shows 90341-18014 but @GA Architect shows a chub pack of ten. I need to look up the thread details.

I thumbs up nearly everything so I can see I read that post and don't need to read it again. If I really like the post it gets one of the other icons. Reading or writing here is very informative and or entertaining for me. I don't watch TV, ever. A lot of the youtube people I use to watch are now hawking "crap" left and right in their vids and that doesn't count all the stuff youtube slips in. If I'm watching a welding video and the guy says he likes this brand of welder/wire... I accept that but when they want to sell me some feminine hygiene products well not so much.

Reminds me of Taxes or Tariffs - there is no difference - the little people pay it all.

@pb4ugo i had my nomenclature wrong. The drain/fill with the allen head is what I meant not the hex head that is on there right now. Appreciate everyone’s help. Got these ordered from my localish dealer that gives me a mud discount.

Often the sockets have a rounded inside corner. Cut the socket end off square with a pipe-fitters saw (it's like an Arm-Saw for steel) and you can get a much better grip on the shallow plug head. Then you won't need to chisel it. Oh and give it a bit of pre-heat.
