I don't know if you can use the plug you discribed, but I do know that the original plugs do NOT screw all the way-in to flush, so there is enough protruding to grip with a large vise-grip pliers or small size pipe wrench. L. Butfoy can answer you first question, you should post it at 'ZF Questions'. Good-Luck with it! Marlin. Once you do get it out, there are three fixes: 1. Maybe? Purchase new ones from RBT. 2. Drill and tap the plug on a lathe for a 3/8" NPT plug. I did this to make adapters for a transaxle cooler. 3. I've seen where some people have welded a large hex-head bolt into the plugs' recess so they can use a standard wrench. Marlin.
