Ok I got called in to work to get a diff drain plug out. They make a extractor that you hammer in to the 3/8 square use a 19mm socket and I used the BIG DADDY 1inch impact. I did have to tap the diff after i removed the pug.

Hmmmm.. I could see that working.. with enough torque anything is possible
Either way.. I could hammer in the extractor and use my long breaker bar.. I dont think my 1/2" impact or the compressor has the ***** to do it

where can i get one of these magic extractors?
thanks

i had the same problem with the drain plug on my transmission. I ended up having to weld a socket to it and use a really long breaker bar

Same problem. I cleaned everything off of the plugs, then covered it in PB blaster. Make sure you clean off the inside parts of it when you finally get it.
