Fixkick,

Does this drain plug look normal to you? There are quite a few threads showing. It must only go into the diff a short way?

It's stripped out and I'm going to weld a socket extension to it to pull it out. Fill plug was same!

thanks,
John

tapered,
and is 10mm square socket, my hard to find part page , end shows 3 sources for this metric tool. $5
using 3/8" just wrecks it.
