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?

Haven't seen a plug yet that would stand up to the torque of the Big Effin allen wrench with my foot against it while holding on to the bumper for leverage.
Did put a cheater pipe on one. while it was out of the car. |
