Before you tackle the "drain" plug - have you released the "fill" one?
Dont want a gearbox drained with no way of filling it back up!
When I did mine we used a combination of heat, shocked it with a hammer and lots of pry bar action!
Good luck mate

You could also position a trolley jack under the pry bar and use the hydraulic power to force the plug out?
All good assuming you have the correct tool to undo it!

fill one undone fine... but there's always one!
I'll try warming it up Stu.
I got a load of bolts welded together.
maybe i'll have to part with some more cash!
Oh well.... I'm getting there... slowly! :roll:

Your local motor spares shop should be able to help
as for the seal......
Get a good self-tapping screw and screw it into the face of the seal.....
Then grab it with a pair of pliars/mole grips and give it a good tug and the seal should start to move....
Got a breakerbar, will be purchasing the proper tool (Socket) now.
thanks for tip on seal.

As per monkiboy on the seal, but I put two screws in at 3 o'clock and 9 0'clock and used two pairs of mole grips to wiggle it out :mrgreen:

Try tightening the drain plug slightly first.
