Best way to undo difficult rear-diff drain and fill plugs?
As per title, tried to undo both of these a number of times, no chance.
Had another go yesterday whilst fitting Whiteline droplinks and adj roll-bar
Any bits of advice most welcome.
cheers

without ramps or a pit you are going to struggle. I've got a pit and used a 3' breaker bar and car was lifting before i got plug loose. If you can get it to a friendly garage and ask them to undo it for you.

Did mine with breaker bar and old motorcycle fork tube to extend breaker bar. I then use 11/2 turns of gas spec PTFE tape on plugs to seal. Now they undo more easily, perhaps tape helps.
