Subject:      Re: Stuck transaxle fill plug crisis
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

A few weeks ago while trying to remove fill plug on an '80 transaxle. I
welded a lug nut to a bolt to be able to get a wrench on the drain
plug.  Sheared the first one in half. More grinding, better welding on
the second try. A little tap with a 10lb hammer , Oh, no problem at all.

best of luck to all,

joseph
