Sick and tired of pulling the dif covers to change fluid, want to drill and tap 1/2"-20 hole and use a magnetic drain plug.
Friend at work said this will significantly weaken casting, may cause a crack to propigate or even a castastrophic failure of housing.
I have seen allen drain plugs on Xterras, any advice?
I know I could drill out the bottom of the covers and have a nut brazed on, but trying to go low budget, don't have access to welding/brazing equipment. Already have drill and tap stuff.
Thanks...
