stripped differential plugs
So I wanted to change differential fluid on my 98 GS300 and I found out that the previous owner was so kind that he stripped inlet and outlet plugs on differential for me. Does anybody knows how to get the plugs out and PN of new ones?

When you say the plugs are stripped do you mean the heads are rounded and difficult to turn with a socket or that the internal threads are stripped?

Buy 2 new plugs. Weld a nut to the fill and drain plug and remove like normal. Replace with new drain plugs.

What ever you do, make sure you break free the top fill plug first. It would royally suck to get it drained with no way to refill it.

My guess is too small of a Allen (Hex) socket and rounded the inside of the plug.
