Stripped Rear Axle Filling Bolt!!!!!!! 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be maxamn142001 on  Sun Feb 8 03:34 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Yesterday it was time to change my rear axle fluid. So I jacked up the rear of the car and drained all the axle oil out. My rear axle has the drain plug on the bottom of the axle. After all the fluid was drained out it was time to remove the fill plug(back of rear axle). I found a 13mm socket and tried to turn it. Didnt even budge. Went and got my dads breaker bar to see if that would do the treak. Nope just STRIP it!!! Now the filler bolt has no flats on it! What should I do? My dad suggested to use vise grips. This is my first time changing the fluid and it seems like it has never been changed.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Leland
