IO360 Oil Galley Plugs

[smccray]

Is there a trick to removing the plugs?  Having difficulty removing either one from an io360 that was overhauled in~2004. I don't know if it's the original case from 1987, but the plugs are stuck pretty tight.

Get a name brand hex adaptor for a rachet so you don't round it out. Fly a while and get it good and hot. Immediately gently tap the hex adaptor in and try to unscrew it. Heating up the aluminum will make the case expand and loosen the plug a little.
