Reply to "zf drain plug"

Thanks, I opened the other plug, and drained 98% of the dope. I could put my finger in the hole and tell it was just sliglty elevated from the main drain. I also used a socket designed for stripped heads, it was a great tool that held well, but I could not turn the plug even after using a little heat aroune the plug. I put so much force on it I felt that if it did break loose the threads were coming with it. In the end I got my fluid changed, but I still have a frozen plug. I like the idea of removing the plate where i can get this thing on the bench.
