diff guards

mines standerd thread and weld a nut on it then you should be able to remove if you weldings up to scratch and leave the nut on there for ever then no more struggling to undo filler plug

one more tip allways undo the filler before the drain plug on anything diffs gearbox etc. failing that take you jeep to a big hill roll it over fill it up through the drain plug and roll it back over lol

Not an option for me unfortunately, I cant and dont have a welder plus my front diff now has no oil in it so cant drive it.

Im assuming your joking!

ya joking but it would work lol big hammer and a drift or cold chissel and good hard wack most of the time frees hard to undo nuts etc ive had breacker bars on things before and no luck and im a big bloke and used a cold chissel and one sharp wack and they undo nicley

blow torch around the nut trying to avoid the nut its self the metel will expand and the nut wont then hit with cold chissel is the way i would go

A change in temperature and impact is the best way! Get your hands on an impact gun and a socket to fit, hammer it for a while then big breaker bar, hammer it, breaker bar, it will come loose. Might struggle to jack it high enough to get the breaker bar on it, if a breaker bar isn't long enough, a hollow tube (scaffold pole) helps extend it/add mega leverage.

this might sound stupid but when you say use a half inch ratchet do I just use the bit the sockets go on?

Yes exactly that it sometimes helps if you get someone to hold it in place then give it a good yank (pull)

Ill give it a go in the morning if that fails ill try some heat around the filler plug.

cheers for the speedy help guys.
