Ok.
1996 w/117K. Bought @ 96K. PO never had diff fluid changed . Went to drain/fill today. drain plugs are frozen on . I pre-soaked w/BLASTER for past few days...and i used (without success) a breaker bar. I am using a 24mm socket. The hex bolt on the front fill/check plug started to strip..so i stopped. Basically, I need to get all new plugs before i go further..so i have time.
However, how can i get these drain plugs free? I dont have air tools..and i am at a loss. I REALLY dont want to bring it into a shop..but, i am afraid it might come to that.
any advice on how i get these loose would be appreciated.
thanks..
later,
Joe
