[Biturbos4] Trouble removing tranny fill plug

[Adam Jansen]

More leverage didn't help...now the plug is stripped (GRRRR)
 
As for the axel bolt, it wasn't the outboard bolt that was loose, rather the bolt holder the 'flange' that the axle bolts up to on the tranny side that came loose.  Inside the flange is a small bolt that holds it to the tranny.
 
Has anyone removed the access plate on the driver's side of the tranny?  the one where the fill bolt is located in?
Pulling that seems to be my only recourse, but I don't want to pull it if it creates more headache with the tranny!
 
its either that or drill through the fill plug and find a rubber stopper to plug the whole...
