[s-cars] What tools for trans and diff drain/fill plugs?

[Dave Kase]

Side notes:

I got one of the tools from a guy on Audizine for $20 shipped so keep 
your eyes open for a deal.

As far as stuck plugs, if they are NPT or some other tapered thread, I 
saw a neat trick once.  I had a plug stuck in a BB Chevy head once.  I 
took it to have some porting done to it and I told the guy about the 
stuck plug.  No problem he said.  He put a big punch in the middle of 
the plug and then wailed the sh!t out of it with a 3 pound sledge.  
After a few beatings the plug backed right out.   Before I brought it to 
the shop I spent over an hour on it with tools, chisels and torches.
