Diff ??

I have a 1993 SC 400. It has the original diff. I can't get the fill plug out. Is the diff case aluminum or steel. I don't want to put a torch on it if it's aluminum.

It's cast iron by the lower passenger side drain plug. The rear cover is aluminum.

FIRE AWAY!

Usually ill air chisel them loose if the plug becomes stripped out. Just have to be careful.
