Just something I learned early on..... Always remove the fill plug first just to make sure you can open it before draining it.
the drain plug will open no matter what, its submerged in oil on the inside. the fill plug is not.
I got hung up on the damn fill plug on a 243c Tcase that I couldnt for the life of me get out. I was replacing a transmission and even had it on the work bench. we also had that last polar vortex going on and it was -30 and cold as hell! anyways it took me over a week before it turned and I was finally able to put my truck back together.
an antique easy out that someone made out of a railroad spike is what saved the day but I had to grind the tip off to make it fit.....
Yup always open or at least make sure the fill plug will open before ever draining the fluid.
