i have a 1992 toyota truck 4x4. I recently had a new rear end installed but my mechanic was to cheap to put a new pinion seal in it. so now about once every 2months i ahve to fill the rear diif with new oil. it is about that time but when i went to do so the head of the fill nut stripped. How do I remove the stripped plug to put in a new one?

 

Put in a new pinion seal:

And for the fill plug, weld a nut onto the head of the plug and then use that to remove it. Or you may be able to use a chisel on the edge of the head to break it loose. And only use a 6 point socket on that plug.

 

Take it back to the mechanic and make him put a pinion seal in.....as for the diff plug, you can do what 4Crawler said. If you don't have access to a welder, the chisel method works well, or you vice grips as a last resort.

 

The hammer and chisel method works well in a pinch. If you have access to a welder, that method is the fastest.

Once you get it off, change it with an allen head plug and you wont have that problem anymore.

 

tg ftw!!!

 

thanks guys . ill get on asap. oh does anyone know where i can get a 6 inch lift for my 92 yota. all i can find is 4 inch.

 

You don't wanna do that.

 

A pipe wrench might work too. A 2-3 inch lift would be better for a 92 with ifs.

 

4 inch + 2 inch body lift

 

Vice grips as tight as u can get them, works great!
