help please 620 fill plug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sick620]

I just went and got some tranny fluid and drained my tranny. the fill plug is rusted and a little stripped. I CANT GET IT OFF! im kinda limited on tools.... i have been trying open ended wrenches and a cheater bar. I have money to buy whatever tools ill need PLEASE HELP :(

[sick620]

what tool do i need to get it off????

[yellowdatsun]

I'm assuming it's the squared off bolt head type thing, right? If its stripped, ha, good luck. May need a big pair of vise grips or something. Not sure if there's a "correct" tool for that.

[Jester]

I would have to agree. At this point you may be better off with a pair of vise grips. You might try smacking it on the end a couple times with a hammer. It's an aluminum case so be fairly gentle. You just want to break loose any corrosion is any is there.

 

Good luck.

[Rubberman]

Yeah, I agree with yellow, A good set of vise crips, and clamp it down as tight as you can. If you can get your truck high enough off the ground (safely), crawl under and use your foot to break it.

X2. had to do that with my Jetta once or twice. royal PITA when ya have to do it but whats done is done adn ya make the best out of what you got.

 

also try a pipe wrench. that worked for me when i did the one on my 73.

Definitely the way to go. If not long enough slip 18" of pipe over the handle for leverage.

[Roadracer Al]

First off, don't remove the old plug until you have a new plug in your hot little hands.

 

Second, I've never regretted owning one of these.

if it is a 3/8 or 1/2 square for a socket drive you probly dont have enough of the outside threads showing to get a pair of vise grips on there. what iv dont when all else fails is get a quality torx bit one that just barely doesnt fit in the hole youll probly have to drill the bolt to make it round and smash the torx in there so each of the little points grip the inside of the bolt. iv used this trick on alot of things exhaust manifold bolts hood hinge bolts probly a drain plug at one point too. and if it doesnt work use an extractor, a square one, the round ones i dont like they just dont seem to do it. or alot of pb blast and a big hammer that works too

Filler bolt: Use a Pipe Wrench. Never fails to work. No special tools needed, though you may need extra torque as Mike says with a handle extension.

[stilltwisted]

im not disagreeing with any one but on the 260z after doing a r200 convertion the plug was so damaged and seized that a 12inch pipe wrench with 3 foot braker pipe had no effect ,,then i used a propane torch on the steel plug for 30sec then sprayed it with cold water out of a spraybottle ,,it took almost no effert to remove after that ,,and no damaged threads..

 

this is just what has worked for me ,,,please remember that their is fuel under there,,

[datzenmike]

Heating around the plug on the aluminum case should expand it enough. Aluminum really expands a lot when heated. The formula is 0.0000128 x Length (In) x Degrees of Temperature Rise (

[Charlie69]

Small pipe wrench and a hammer. Chase threads in pan and use new drain plug and gasket

[datzenmike]

Different tranny Chuck. It's a solid aluminum case with steel bung. Some have an external square 'nut' and newer ones have an internal square hole that a 1/2" drive ratchet (without socket) will fit in and twist out. Like this:

ok so i got a 19mm 8 point snap-on specialty socket im going to try. ill take pics. if its 2 stripped ill use a file and file it down. if that dosnt work I got an eazy out and ill drill that f0ck3r out.

[fryenretards]

im tellin ya torx bit and if that fails use an easy out after because of the torx theres more rough edges for it to grip afterwards its a win win

[sick620]

whats a torx bit?

I have my doubts about an easy out working considering the amount of torque required to remove this bolt.

[sick620]

ya me 2. also i tryed the snapon 8 point and it was stripping it. I dont want to end up like that honda guy who cut up a rim to remove a lug lol. i could flip my truck and fill it through the drain plug :P

[420n620]

if you do, we will need pic's....

how bad is it now, do you have a pic of it..

[sick620]

[sick620]

srry really blurry but thats the best it gets

[datzenmike]

Quit fuckin' around with it and get a pipe wrench in it before it's so fucked up even that won't work. :) Block the wheels, put in 1 st gear and E brake on.
