Reply to "zf drain plug"

bosswrenchMember

It seems that your stock drainplug has been seized so long, a previous owner drilled/tapped a new plug location! The OEM plug is a metric thread, metric allen size internal-wrenching plug & can be stripped by using SAE allen wrenches. To remove the lower cover, the ZF will have to be removed, as the 2 long cross-bolts won't clear the rear subframe rails. And when you do this, there are several shims between the lower cover & the side plates; don't lose nor mix them up as they prevent an unwary owner from cracking the sideplates when re-tightening the long bolts. Sounds like a ring-gear-bolt inspection is also in order; stock ones often back out a little, then break off.
