I have my transmission apart on the bench and I can't get the drain plug out? I'm not sure if I should use heat or not; out of fear of melting the case? What do you guys think? A little heat with the propane or get glowing with the oxy?
Thanks' Jon |

I use up to MAP heat on them with no issue. I do not know about Oxy/acetylene, though.
I find that if heat does not work, I just drill a huge hole in the middle of the plug and use an easy out or other large rod with grippers. It comes out easy then. I have spare plugs if you need that are in perfect shape. |
