Oil & Fuel front axle oil change 2310

[pathman]

HEy all, I was doing my first 50 hr oil change yesterday and when I went to drain the oil from the front axle, I couldn't get the 2 14mm drain bolts out. I stopped before anything broke, I'll try again with an impact gun tonight. Any of you had this problem? BTW I went the permetran for this change, I'll have to look into getting some synthetic for the next.

The plugs on mine was tighter then they needed to be but they did come out. Try a 6 point socket on a breaker bar before using a impact. If you do use a impact make sure you do use a 6 point to try and save the frustration of drilling and trying to remove the striped plug.

my thoughts exactly, I did use a 6pt socket and no I definately don't want to start drilling out bolts.
