The last Hydro fluid change was done by my now defunked dealership with out authorization, that's another story. Went to pull the drain plug to do a fluid and filter change and can't get the drain plug out. Started with a 12" crescent wrench and started to round off the corners, then I tried a 16" pipe wrench and it is just starting to twist the plug not remove it.

It appears to be a pipe plug, is it? standard thread? Is it Magnetic? It is so out of shape now I may try welding a large nut to it and getting a socket and breaker bar on it but I'm not real hopeful this will work.

Will it drain fully by pulling out the the filter screen.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Just pull the hose off the screen fitting and drain, then pull out and clean the screen.
