I tried to get the front diff drain plug undone, but the last few people to do it munted it so badly it now has a round hole instead of square...
ANyway I'll get my mechanic to weld a nut on and remove it.
The bit I need help with is which drain plug it can be replaced with that is not a square hole type, but an external hex type. I heard a while back that there was a magnetic one around, but couldn't find which one it is...

weld a nut to the plug and then put a brass washer on it and keep using it. mine has been undone stacks of times since i fixed it.

All mine are magnetic, but I am after a hex shaped one, not a square key..

Any hydraulic/pnematic place should have a new grubscrew to suit your needs, or try boltmaster up the rd from yours.
Or u can eat my dick and i will give you one
Unsure about the hex/bolt head ones..

you don't need it out to see what type it is.
if it is the type that has a flat to seal on the outside of the diff housing
they come out easy as if you give it a tap with a cold chisel.
