well what sucks is i tried the drain bolt and it came off and i let it drain so theres no fluid in there now, and i have either to get the bolt off and put in fluid that way, or from the top.. thanx

fill bolt is threaded just like the drain bolt (not reverse threaded)...

wonder why it's so tough. it should only be torqued to 33ft-lbs

on prelude power there is a write up and he uses a big pipe to get more power on the bolt, i just cant find something to get more, i used a hammer and pulled with it, no luck.. i dont see whats going to get it loose
