Thread: Major help needed

Hi
You could try gripping whatever is there with a plumbers wrench( you know the adjustable type with teeth), if that won't work you will have to get someone to weld a nut to the mess thats there so you can undo it with a socket. As long as there is something proud of the box to grip or weld to then you should'nt need to pull the box.
Hope this helps

I assume you have a R380-box. The filler plug is a Torx, cannot remember the actual size. Since it is a tapered thread (and well lubricated, usually ) it should come out without too much fuss after the initial resistance is overcome. My first advice would be to weld on a nut/socket/bolt and unscrew it the old-fashioned way. An alternative could be to take a cold chisel, set on the outer rim of the offending item and start tapping it out. As soon as it sticks out a bit you resort to the polygrip... Good Luck!

Cheers

Shano, I am with the rest, do as they have suggested. before the welding try taping with a hammer squarely against the face of the plug, then with a punch or chisel tap from the plug perimeter in an anti clock wise direction. post a photo of the plug.

yer ill try get a pic. cant believe what some people do. i had another look an the weld if thats what u call it. It is slaggy.
I tried hammer and chisel but no luck and nothing to grip onto so guess ill try weld a nut or bolt tomorrow. If that does not work i may try get a grinder in there to get slag off then try weld again.
Another easy job turned into a hard one thanx to someone elses brainless acts.
