Great advice !  I have personally encountered a fill
plug that would NOT come out, found AFTER I had
drained the transmission. The plug had been rounded
over by use of crescent wrenches. No amount of heat or
PB Blaster would loosen it up.  I finally had to weld
a nut to the thing to get a good grip.  Luckily this
was on a transmission that was not yet installed.

I bought a square-holed wrench after that for my other
LBC's !!

 Just one simple, and possibly obvious, suggestion:
 remove the fill 
 plug before removing the drain plug.  It can be
 embarrassing to 
 remove the drain plug and then encounter
 difficulties removing the 
fill plug.
