4.5L would do him :lol: :lol:youngsyp said:That'll do you !!
For the gearbox yes. If he wanted to do the transfer box and rear diff, he'd need another 2 litres ! ;-)jpward said:4.5L would do him :lol: :lol:
Make sure you have the right size plug remover, put a bar on it and whack it with a mallet. The shock of the whacks should help free it up.steve963 said:gonna do the back diff also so do need near 7 i think, cant get the f`in drain plugs undone though, tried everything!!!
Failing that, try heating it with a blow torch !
They are a pain to remove though, from what I can remember !
Oh, and make sure you can undo the fill plugs first, before removing the drain plugs !!

I had to buy a 600mm breaker bar bear in mind the plugs are 13mm so using a 1/2" square drive may wreck the plug its worth buying the little plug remover i got one that is T bar or you can use a 17mm socket on it, But on the diff you can get a ratchet on so i used a ratchet spanner worked a treat.
The gearbox drain was the one i also had fun with even with the big bar I had to use both feet and pull on the Front ARB and bar was flexing :lol:
PS if you dont have one a tip might be to buy an oil transfare pump simple one i bought was about £10 and is really a big syringe saves all the mess!
Something like this you mean ?!jpward said:PS if you dont have one a tip might be to buy an oil transfare pump simple one i bought was about £10 and is really a big syringe saves all the mess!

Yes thou that one is better looking than mine I also found it great for putting the oil in the bike and quad as they have dry sumps the oil tank filler is small and another tip warm up the oil before using the gun's makes it easier to dispence unless you have popeye arms :lol:youngsyp said:Something like this you mean ?!

That's a good point actually. I always put mine on the radiator or in the airing cupboard before I do mine !jpward said:another tip warm up the oil before using the gun's makes it easier to dispence unless you have popeye arms :lol:

I just leave it on the intercooler after doing the Pre Fluid drain thats more than enough heat wouldnt want to melt the oil jar leaving it on a rad in the house especially gear oil!

Burny hot thats why i've an oil cooler to go in car also need to sort out fans suspect theres a fault somewhere and there not coming on soon enough :xyoungsyp said:How hot do your rads get ? :shock:
damn tfer box drain plug, been hitting it with a coal chisel but the metals too soft, it now looks like the guy from T2 after Terminator shot him!
looks like im gonna have to do something, cant get the drain plug off, think i might fill it through the speedo sensor hole, and put it back on? (will be bit of a ball ache for the next owner, if there is one)

Now i dont mean light a fire under the car or anything just a small blow lamp or hot air gun will do the trick and gentle warm up the plug more than the box before when you had the chance to remove it with a 13mm or 12.5 (1/2") as you were pulling someone else should be hitting the ratchet with a hammer a bit like the impact driver physics but now i dont know how your are going to do it if you have semi forged it into a blob :lol: you might be on a last resort off welding a small bar to it in order to get something to put a twist on it ohh and i believe the plugs are cast so will require a cast welding rod to make a good arc weld and obviously dont put the darn thing back on buy one from a breakers believe the bluebirds and primera are same sizes needed!
