Replacing SFA drain plugs with better alternatives

[niclemaitre]

Hi there

I've had several issues in the past removing stuck or mangled drain plugs in the diffs, transfer or gearbox. There is an alternative to replacing them with the same, poorly designed plug.

You can replace them with the low profile plug from a Toyota Camry with a 10mm hex interface that is much less damage prone.

Here are the relevant part numbers for the plug, steel washer and aluminium washer

Put some copper compound (slip) on the thread before putting them in
