Whats a good way to get this tcase fill plug out. Somebody completely stripped the inside of it and i dont know how to get it out. And i need to fill it cause i drained it already

 

If you've actually tried the normal way and it didn't work I would think you have to use some kind of extractor. Did it just look stripped or did you actually try to remove it?

 

I would cut a flat piece of steel and tap it in going to the two farthest corners and turn it with a 12 adjustable wrench. If that didn`t work I would weld a piece of pipe or a old extension to the plug and use a pipe wrench or ratchet. You are just putting tacks on it. Once welded let it cool down so the plug shrinks. If you don`t have a welder get the dremal out and cut some slots in it.

 

You can make sure the plug is steel with a magnet.

 

Its aluminum tho. And yes it was mostly stripped but i tried heating it and pounding an extension in there and it just slips.

 

Well, whatever you do to get it off I'd have a replacement handy. I would use an extractor to remove it.

 

I encountered this on a car I had to work on. Get a 1 inch 3/8 extension, clean ALL grease off of the area, get some jb weld. JBweld that extension in there and wait a few days. Then hook up the wratchet and pull it out. Don't forget to get a new plug before pulling that one.

 

I got some plus around. I was trying easy outs earlier but i get them nice and tight but then they slip and make the hole bigger and take out a bunch of filings.

 

I'd try a small chisel and hammer. Get the chisel dug in and hit it little by little counter clockwise until you can grab it with pliers and turn it out.

 

Best, and quickest! Must be a cold chisel, Must have a sharp, Vee-point about 60 degrees angle, width a bit less than the plug diameter.


Hold it at an angle to cause counter-clockwise plug movement, strike it until it drives into the plug deeply enough to allow angling flatter, to get more torque on plug.


This has always worked for me. imp
