tran/diff drain/fill plug help needed

[james accordino]

I had NO luck with the drain on my rear diff.  I tried
every trick I knew.  Heat, beat, lube (Kroil), more
heat (torch), impact drivers, impact gun (550 ft lbs.
torque).  NO luck.  Finally gave up and drained
through the input shaft cover (was changing the seal
and o-ring anyway) and filled through the normal fill
plug which came out without problems.  Fill and drain
on the tranny also came out without probs.
