@trocket Can you please share the link of amazon on the exact plier you used? I am stuck in the same situation and struggling to remove the transmission and Front differential rusted plugs. When I searched amazon, I see many products and I want to make sure I am buying the exact one you used. Thanks much.

 

@Davenlei can you please advice if the above part #s do fit the Lexus GX470 front differential? Hope you have successfully swapped with these, hence the ask. Thanks.

 

Worked like a charm for me. I have not tried taking it off yet but so far so good.

 

\Just went through this and used this extractor. It was not rusted, but stuck AF.

Uggh. Mechanics need to learn their torques.
