[Biturbos4] Trouble removing tranny fill plug

[j.koenig]

I had a similar problem with a rear diff plug.  I tried a big easy-out, penetrating oil, 
heat, etc.  Eventually I had to resort to air impact tools to get it to turn, and 
completely buggered the plug.  Good news is that once it came loose, which took a long 
time, it came out with threads intact, and I was able to just replace the plug.  Good 
luck!

Subject: [Biturbos4] Trouble removing tranny fill plug



So I am replacing the drivers CV halfshaft and while I was in there thought it might be a 
good time to replace the tranny/front diff fluid... only the fill bolt (thank goodness I 
checked that before openning the drain bolt) is stuck fast and wont come out... I mean 
STUCK.

Any suggestions?

While pulling my driver's axle, it came totally out! the retaining bolt the holds the hub 
the axle bolts into backed itself out somehow so since I already have that off, can I just 
take off the side plate that contains the fill bolt hole?

Things just keep going from bad to worse...
