So, in trying to change the fluid in my AX-15 manual transmission, I
discovered that the fill plug doesn't want to move. Good thing I thought
to open that one first before I drained all the fluid out. It's a bit
beaten up to begin with, made worse by the fact that I managed to round
one of the corners off of the thing trying to get it to budge. That's
when I decided to back off before I really buggered it up. I've got a new
plug on order at the parts counter, because I'm pretty sure the old one
isn't going to be very usable once I'm done with it.
What's the best way to deal with this thing? Short of taking it to Jiffy
Lube and wishing them "good luck!", the only thing I can think is to soak
it with WD-40 and get some kind of bolt extractor. I know PB Blaster is
better than WD-40, but I haven't been able to find PB in Canada (must
remember to get some at Daktoberfest). The case is aluminum, isn't it?
Does that make a difference?
Thanks.
