I have met my match with the stupid dip stick plug on my 10r80 transmission. I noticed I have a pan gasket leak/seepage and therefore I want to check the fluid level. Unfortunately I cannot get the freaking plug off. Why Ford, why would you screw in an aluminum plug so ungodly tight. I can’t get that thing to budge. I am using a 19 mm crows foot but I am starting to round the corner of one flat so I gave up. Due to the heat shield I cannot get full engagement on the plug.
Is there some magically trick to get the thing off? Is it reverse threaded? One thing I do notice is that this “19” mm plug seems more like an 18 given the amount of slope my wrench has on it.
All suggestions on how to break the plug loose are appreciated. Thanks.
