Mest method to remove seized rear diff drain plug.

Best method to remove seized rear diff drain plug.
Sometime ago I tried to remove the rear diff drain plug to drain the gear oil, but found it didn't budge. It was so bad it actually began to round the damn nut
now I'm not so sure how to get it out. been resorting to siphoning out as much of the oil as possible from the filler plug but that's only about half to three quarter the oil...
any suggestions?

You need one of these with the right size for the diff nut. I'm not sure if that particular kit comes with the right size but you get the idea.

I agree with Scheides though, PB Blaster works wonders. That's terrible that you can't get it where you are though. Good luck!

Yep... I would have, but I found the kit to remove that size of bolts and ordered it... I'm done with ebay right now because of issues with paypal and international customers.
Only thing is to get a drain plug, but already having trouble ordering that as well...
no fear I shall get through.
Thanks all.

It is a skill but it does work.
