Howdy all, attempted to change oil this weekend but couldn't loosen the drain plug for my front differential. Tried a breaker bar. Went so far as to use a impact driver for a couple short bursts... anyone else have this problem? Any advice?

Unrelated note: anyone have a PN for the front differential drain bolt? Also need a few screw type fasteners and a captive nuts.

Try Removing the fill plug and using a siphon device to remove the old oil, or a heat gun, too much heat my cause problems with seals and orings.

I had a hard time finding parts until I discovered
