Default Man. Trans. Help

Any tips on getting the plugs out of the trans? Spent about 45 min. last nite, did not even budge them. Would it be better if trans. was warm? Thanks in advance.Is something like PB Blaster safe on alum. ?

JEFFT, try adding a "cheater bar" to the socket driver, or wrench that you are using. Get a piece of pipe about 18" long, with a diameter just large enough to slip over the end of the socket driver or wrench that you are using for added leverage. It is recommended that the socket or wrench that you are using is a quality forged tool. Don't use an open-end wrench, as the torque applied with the cheater-bar will round off the plug. Good luck! :cheers:
