    Mine is completely seized.

    Tried everything at my friend's shop. Even busted one of his tech's snap-on sockets.

    Get a medium sized ball-peen hammer. Use the blunt side and firmly tap/hit the head of the drain and fill plug. This helps to relive some of the stress of all of that surface contact on the sealing surface.


    I use tap/hit wording, depending on how much of a sissy you are will depend on tap/hit

    On the used front diff that I bought I had to weld a nut to the drain plug to get it off. Works good if you can get in there with it mounted.

    A pump cost like 4 bucks. So worth it. Although I had to buy 2 to do all the fluids... Not built very well...

    Truth. I ended up super gluing mine together when it fell apart, 3 years ago, still pumping today though.

    Trying to pour 90w at just above freezing temps through a funnel is an all day job.

    Put in the microwave for 30 seconds?

    Kidding.

    I hate 90w smells bad and never leaves your skin.
