Post subject:  Where can I get new diff plugs?

Hi guys,

I'd like to replace the oil in the diff's but the plugs look pretty shagged. I'm expecting they will probably be unusable by the time I get them out. Does anyone know where I can get some new ones?

Cheers,

KD.

Never realised they were tapered thread... :?

EDIT: Well I'm sure the fill plug is BSPP. They use a nylon washer for seal.

1 litre and narrow track are tapered, never looked at a wide track to notice, just assumed it would be the same. A tapered plug will work anyway, bit of thread tape and nip it up.

WT drain is the same as 1ltr but fillers are different, I tried to use 1ltr ones in my WT diffs so I would have hex key instead of square, but the filler one is different.

Also, any tips on getting them out? Squares are gone.

Have you tried a proper 10mm square tool - not a 3/8" drive?

Failing that - welder...

I used a Electric impact wrench from Supercheap cost $46, couple of cracks they came out.

A normal socket driver kept slipping, mines been chewed up bad too, as reubs said can get the tool, the Impact wrench fitted perfect.

In the plumbing section. Just ask for a 1/2 inch bsp. The one's I got have a thin 21mm head on them, so no more messing with the 10mm drive.

Hamer and small centre punch or chisel carefully tap it around

Low Range Offroad also sell the Genuine ones, worth getting them to throw in a couple when you next place an order with them:
