[6pack] Removing gearbox fill plug

[Foster, Stan]

I haven't had to resort to this personally but I know people that have. I
think that if you are just stabbing it with a mig welder a few times to sick
the nut to the plug it would be no worse than heating up the plug with mapp
gas.

        Stan:

        Is this approach safe? The casing is aluminum, and I would be afraid
of damage by that much heat. I suppose a mig might be OK (as opposed to
acetylene) as it minimizes the amount of heat applied, but I would still
worry. Have you tried this before on an aluminum casing? I have not, so if you
have and it worked, then I humbly withdraw my concern...
