What ideas do you have for loosening the Fill Plug on the front axle of a Deere 2955 tractor?
The plug is not stripped. A breaker bar fits tight in the plug, but no amount of heaving I have done is breaking the plug loose.
I sprayed some WD-40 around the plug yesterday to see if it might penetrate to help loosen the thread [I haven't checked back on that yet]. But, since the plug is on the side of the axle, I'm not sure if any penetrant would have much opportunity to move down into the threads.
I suppose heat would also be an option.
