Any tips and or tricks for removing drain plug on the main gearcase thats in the rear end. Thanks in advance.

Buy an Allen key attached to a socket so you can use a wrench. Can't remember size, 8mm? Drive it around first to suspend any particles so they will all drain out.

Always loosen the fill plugs first, just to make sure you can.:excitement::encouragement:

The rear is easy to remove just watch the front diff drain plug I stripped mine last week and the replacement cost 45.00 from fix my toys...

It would be worth the investment to get some good sockets to handle these bolts and avoid stripping them.

Alloutdoors hit it on the head, I'm a big craftsman fan and have a small (ok maybe bigger then that) fortune in tools but when it came time to get the allen sockets just couldn't find what I thought look good, for once I'll admit you need Mac or Snap-on maybe SK if you can find them anymore, while your at it get a set of torques to.

I'm a believer of not using a ball end allen head socket to remove these plugs. A strait allen type gives you more contact area inside the plug which helps keep it from stripping.

I always give mine a hit with a punch and hammer to help it break free before I crank on it. hasn't failed me yet!
