    Gave the Old Trol a 4" lift with blocks of wood. Gotta get a hoist instead of stuffing around, just to do the Gearbox and diff oil. And yes, that is a ghost standing behind the spare on the trailer.

    Best advice given to me was to crack the top plugs first. It took using a breaker bar with a piece of pipe and a bottle jack to get the gearbox and diff top plugs to move. It was touch and go as to whether I needed to weld a socket onto them.

    To get the bottom plug out, I used a bottle jack to hold the breaker bar in the plug.

    I am thinking of designing a tool that sits securely on a jack, but lets the breaker bar turn.
