Sly_Jeeper Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 If I remember right I just put a 3/8 extension in mine to drain I tried the 3/8 but its a little too big n 1/4 is too small. What i had read was that it could work if you grind a 3/8 extension down but i’d rather have the right toolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SVPete Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I made mine with a bolt and a file in about 15 minutes.

They are a little smaller so they can wobble.
75sv1 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 There is the drain plug in the 4.0L block. I think 8mm square. Really tough to get out. Some are afraid to remove them as the block may crack.

Some are afraid to remove them as the block may crack. that´s why i don´t remove the one in mine, after 30 years it´s probably welded shut... imagine all the trouble just for removing this plug if the block cracks...
Crash Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I just used a spare chinexican 3/8" extension, and used a grinding wheel to re ove enough material from 2 sides of the extension to fit. Hopefully I will have my 4 wd swap done soon and no more french pos trans. Although, I can't complain too much considering it has outlasted the Turdy5
