Thread: Transfer case filler plug

I've never been able to get 1/2" ratchet or extension onto the plug. What works for me is 1/2" square bit of bar that I push into the plug, then use a 1/2" spanner to turn it.


I had thought of this and after reading that some one had done it .
worked great about 25mm of 1/2 in square , easy

But a 1/2" wobble drive extension gets past the drum and you can use it in so many other spots.

They are really good bits of kit, I have a selection in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" drive

Wot's a wobble drive? I have a little 1/2" unijoint that is quite useful here and there, but not for this job. Wobble drive? Hmmm....

It's like a standard 1/2" drive except ground away to allow drive at an angle. Example:

Wobble drives, like ball-end Allen keys, are bloody brilliant bits of kit. I wouldn't be without them Not quite as strong though, so you need to temper your enthusiasm...
