Help, I can't get the plug out - 3/18/2008 10:04:58 AM    starcraft   Posts: 161 Joined: 9/7/2007 Status: offline I am trying to do a transfer case service on my D2 and I cant seem to get the fill plug out.  First of all I cant get a good shot at it because the parking brake drum is in the way, and secondly the thing seems to be in there like it was welded shut.  Any suggestions.  Thanks alot!!  _____________________________ 1999 D2 with 130,000miles EBC Slotted and Dimpled Rotors EBC Greenstuff Pads BFG AT KO 255/70/16 Magnecor 8mm and Bosch Fusion Post #: 1

Although mine came right out. Sorry your having trouble. _____________________________ 2003 Discovery SE 64,228 mi (in reply to jkid) Post #: 5
