Mangled Transmission filler plug
Ok so my transmission filler plug is a bit mangled any good suggestions for getting out without dropping the pan ?
I can still get a 8mm hex in there and tightish but damm the bolt was torqued in good. It is starting to strip out, where the hex key fits and no bolt movement, and yes lots of penetrating oil. The bolt has only been in for 4 months, I had the transmission serviced in the spring but wanted to check the fluid level,so far that is not looking good.
A pan is not a terrible price but there has to be a way to get that bolt out.
