Differential plug 700 1989

A replacement should be easy to find, either from the dealer or from a machine supply store.
To remove: lather in PBlaster for a day or two. Clean up the hex nut with a file so you can use a SIX-point socket, not a twelve. Then heat up the differential plate and the plug with a hot air gun. Place an ice cube on the plug to shrink it down, shoot more PBlaster up there, and use the socket to remove it.

Drilling it out is NOT good because of the chance of metal shavings in the differential.
