np 242 transfer case on a Jeep.

OK got this morning to do a oil change and t-case fluid change. went to open the fill plug on the t-case and it is frozen solid. soaked it in pb blaster and tapped on it with a hammer and it will not break loose. Its a 3/8 allen plug that is pretty chewed up so I don't want to make it worse. Need to know where I can take it and what it will cost to get it pulled and and replaced with a new one. The drain plug is fine just the fill plug is the issue.

 

here is a pic

I called and talked to Dana and she said you were busy but I could drop it off and have you look at it when you have time. Just don't have the time right now. Also rob what do you think it would cost to do. PM me if you like.

 

 

If you have access to a welder you could (carefully) probably tack weld a large bolt to the plug, then use the bolt to turn it.

 

I would consider that more of a last ditch option though.

 

the plug is not steel it softer like brass or aluminum. At this point I will probably get a 7/16 allen socket and see if I can hammer it on and give it a go if not will probably have to use a extractor or just drill and tap it for a new plug.
