Club 80-90 Forums

Hi, I have had my 86 T25 for about a month, and have changed the engine oil, filter, air filter and fuel filter as I didn,t know when they were last done. However have now tried to undo the gearbox oil filler plug but its refusing to budge ! I have the correct socket and a good length ratchet on it , as much leverage as you can get whilst lying underneath and have sprayed /soaked with WD40 but no result. Has anyone any tips ? I am afraid to give it too much welly in case of damaging the plug so if anyone has solved this problem before would appreciate advice. Cheers...........

have you tried plus gas?
gentle heat (no fires please!) -

Hi,

Had same problem, not the easiest to move sometimes!

Done same as yourself though - wd40 etc - and in the end place the correct sized socket in the plug and the other end of the in the bowl of a trolley jack - get the right angle! - and then gently pumped the trolley jack. Was no problem after that.


All best.

Thanks for your advice. Will give it another go once it stops raining!

wd40 is usless for what your trying to do.its a moisture displacer.as mentioned use plusgas.its a penetrator.
