But worth every penny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When I was wrenching a few years agoImade it a point to only by Snap-on. Now that I am just you at home mechanic I am glad I did as the quality is just so much higher. However, I do know that you don't need to have that level of tools for doing at home stuff. Sure is nice though.

This thread is a blast from the past...
Nice pics, Racuniff. Good detail showing how to do it! I second the comment about the 17mm craftsman allen wrench. I've used mine set for about 10 years. |

Did you ever get the plug out? Yep. That last pic is the fill plug out. I welded the bolt to it after it was out. My new ones just showed up from The Bird, and, thanks to the tips to check out Auto Zone, I have a 17mm Allen socket to put them in with (no more round corners!) I need to pull the tranny here before too long - the mainseal is leaking - so I'll replace the drain plug at that time. |
