My rear diff has a pinion seal leak, which I can't take care of right now, (temporarily without a garage) so I planned on checking and filling as necessary until I came get this done. Problem is, the fill plug is TIGHT. I'm afraid of stripping it out. I only had a 6 inch ratchet on it, but it was SNUG. Do I just need to use a larger ratchet? I've had it off before, and I usually don't tighten things to the max.
Kinda freaking out. I really don't want to have to rush ship a $150 cover with a fill plug.
Help!
