Removing transmission fill/drain plugs - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Arctic91 · 07-05-2015

I attempted to drain and fill the transmission oil at our local maintenance day, but the fill plug simply would not budge. I soaked them with WD-40 earlier in the week and using brute force with a 17mm hex and breaker bar damaged the female hex portion of the plug. I didn't attempt to force the drain plug since it was obvious the fluid was not going to be changed today.

Any suggestions for removing these plugs when they seem to be seized?

Thanks,
Scott
