I never saw why the fill plug should be out first ( just curious ).

My fill plug came out easily. It's my drain plug that's being a total PITA! It was slightly stripped before I started.....started to strip a bit more so I stopped. Puzzling out how to get the *()@# thing loose! Looks like the PM may have used the wrong tool at some time. But whatever he/she used...he/she sure got it tight as *(@$!

How about using a standard size allen? May it will fit a bit tighter since it's stripped?? Just throwing it out there

Good suggestion. I have a mechanic up the road who'll pull the plug for me. Thanks. I may try to find a standard size allen for kicks.
