Tried to loosen Diff filler plug and drain plugs today to change oil. Neither will budge. Absolutely solid. The 14 mm hex tool I am using is a perfect fit in the drain plugs. An 8mm socket / ring spanner is used to fit on the hex tool.
Result, 2 x 8mm 3/8 drive sockets broken under leverage, 1 ring spanner bent and another split when using a bit of shock persuasion with a 2lb hammer.
Soaked with penetrating oil for 1 hour, same again. No movement.
Anyone got any ideas on how I am going to get these out ?
