Hi  folks,
        The real  cure for "rounded" transmission/differential plugs 
is a set of Sears Craftsman tools, that have "teeth".  You  fit the 
proper one to your rounded plug (might have to smack it a time or 
two)  then use a breaker bar and socket (the tool has regular nut 
faces),
the tool bites into the plug allowing its removal.
        Once that plug is out, replace it with a new one, I think 
Randall suggested a alternative to the original plugs,  and while you 
are at Sears get the proper 8 point socket to use.   This really 
works, Trust Me ... it  worked on ALL of Rosey's very bad plugs ...
