Gonna take another whack at getting the tight drain plug out of the trans. I know the case and the plug are different metals, and may very well expand at different rates, the question is would it get tighter or looser if I put the heat gun on it?

What are you using the try to remove the plug? I had a hex head for my socket wrench that had rounded corners (I think I got it at Bugformance). I couldn't get the plug out to save my life. I went to Sears and bought a 17mm allen wrench. The corners are nice and square. More surface contact, more force, out comes the plug.
If you can't find one without rounded corners let me know, you can borrow mine. |
