Can't remove trans fill bolt

[TimeMachinE30]

Yes post number 9, I said I was able to remove it.
Not sure if your saying I asked about a steering wheel bolt, but wasn't me.

Thanks

Oh good. Glad to hear.

Steering wheel is another thread.. but stuck bolts with seemingly no resolution. Glad to hear this is not yor case.

last time I did this job I used a wheel lug bolt and a slim 17mm wrench. push the lug bolt into the hole and there is enough room to slide the wrench in and thats the trick.

i welded a hex bolt with threads cutoff to the back of a shifter wrench to use as the tool to remove it. had the tool for 10-12years

Reminds me of thread where OP asked for help removing steering wheel bolt. Never did see the end of that one...

Did you get this bolt?

Looking for closure,

Also, pick this up while you are at it so you have a proper socket:

Unless you want to strip the fill plug, this is what you need. You'll be able to use the most force without damaging something. I actually use one where the hex part can slide out of the socket. I slide it through a ratcheting wrench and into the cap. It makes it super easy and safe.

My friend has that HF one. I've seen it flex a lot. Makes it hard to break a bolt in a tight space. I prefer this one, although it is a bit shorter http://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-9-44.../dp/B00065T0MS

A 50/50 mixture of acetone and ATF will be better than PB blaster. Popular mechanics did a test a few years back and it exceeded every other off the shelf penetrating oil they tested.

Get more leverage. I have this guy and it works very well:

^^^ been there done that on various cars/bolts. As long as I feel like I got a good lock on the nut or bolt so I don't round it off with pushing with a leg.

When disconnecting the drive shafts at the diff, I muscled it off by using my legs... not arms.

I meant an extra foot extension on the foot long ratchet. (My breaker bar is just a piece of pipe) So close to two feet together.
I got the plug out though. Jacked the car up higher using some 2x4's on top the jacks. Allowed me a better angle to get some leverage on it.
Appreciate the ideas.

[TimeMachinE30]

Do soak the fastener with PB routinely for many days.

Or use this as perfect excuse for a tool....say, go out and get you a 1/2" Milwaukee Fuel impact.

A foot long breaker bar is not much of a breaker bar. 18-24" is usually what you need. Sounds like you need a new breaker bar. Remember, cheaper ones may flex more. Kind of useless in tight spaces.

You might need to ask a friend who lifts.

Repeated daily soakings of PB Blaster for a week are usually pretty helpful.

Yeah I've had a little breaker bar (about a foot long) on a 1/2 inch ratchet which is already longer. I'm using the doubled up nuts on a bolt method.
But yeah I can't get good leverage being only up on jack stands.
