Nev

wading plug is brass, probably not seized, just stiff.

Lightly tap WP to free of crud, spray with magic fluid (WD40) and see if it will move.

Failing that, you'll have to drill it out.

hi nev

The wade plug in the timing case jammed on mine not long ago. Chris (Stanton Boy) took a hammer and chisel and 'gently' tapped it round :wink:

Well Then! I went out yesterday on a mission ! Hammer and Chisel in hand! and managed to loosen both the gearbox wadeing plug and the timeing case plug! Found no water in either and then re-fitted with a small amount of copper grease on both! That should make life easier for the Future! Thanks for your advise again Chaps!! :D  :D  :D

Breather plugs only want to be fitted when you are wading, otherwise they shold be left out.  If you don't want them to seize than I'd suggest PTFE tape rather than copper slip as it doesn't wash away and will help the plug seal without applying masses of ft-lbs.
