I have a '92 S-10 2-wheel drive with the rear diff filler plug completely stuck. After trying a few things mentioned here and a few things mentioned by friends, I just gave up on it and decided to just fill it through the vent tube. (I have limited access to tools, ie, no torch, welder, extractors, tap and dye set, etc.) The bad part is that it took me 2 hrs to get 1 qt in because the air can't escape while filling! Since I now discovered my cover is leaking anyway and needs replaced (rusted through) I'm going to try again. My idea is to stick one of those WD-40 straws or something behind the cover gasket on top were it shouldn't leak, (silicone should seal around it) but let air out while I fill. Would this cause a leak, what do you guys think? Any ideas at this point would be welcomed.
