Thread: Stupid question - Where is the T-case fill plug? D1

Yep, that's the filler/level hole.

Use a 1/2" square bar, e.g., socket set, to undo it anti-clockwise.

They can be a bugger to undo. Get a longer handle

Also using a 1/2" with a rounded end is some times easier. But at the very least get a big solid extension bar on to it.

This is how I break it



and to spin the bolt out

And don't do it up as tight. The plug is tapered and you can damage the case.

keerryst! I'm going to have to get a longer breaker bar. I had the extension and ratchet and hammer and no joy at all.

At least i'm not trying to pull the wrong plug out! Cheers All.

Its a pain, but it in this case it may be better to remove the handbrake drum to get a breaker bar in without an extension on it - will allow you to get more torque and maybe a better angle on the beast.

A 2ft long 1/2" breaker bar should do it

Did you tighten it up last time or previous owner??

Its a tapered thread (same as Diff pan plugs) - You shouldnt overtighten them otherwise you can damage the casing.

Not had the pleasure of having to get access to it, but from the pix that Slunie has put up it may be easier with a universal joint on a breaker bar.
