Hi guys
Changing auto box oil have removed pan now but filler plug will not give tried heat and mole grips after socket started to slip what would you suggest best method 2 come to mind, 
Mel

chisel it off, then replace, same as normal sump plug.

I actually swapped my old one for the newer torx style with washer rather than copper washer crushing type.

Do you mean hitting the corner to try and turn nut or lop it right off

[Jimbob]

hitting corner to spin it round...always possible the thread mounting will come loose (even when undoing normally)  as mine did, and I needed a nut braizing in instead

Thanks Jimbob  been using chisel its loose now thought of welding but only as a last resort, looks like a new plug when oil replaced
