I've removed the two filters and drained all fluid from both sides. Installed new filters. I'm unable to remove either top port plug. I've applied penetrating oil a couple of times and will allow it to (hopefully) work overnight. These plugs require 1/4" hex key, not a socket wrench. I haven't applied "super" torque in trying to remove because I don't want to strip out the hex hole. The plugs are flush with the transaxle surface so there's nothing to grab with any kind of tool.
If I'm unable to remove the plugs, is there another way to determine when I've reached the full level when refilling? The hoses from the reservoir attach to a fitting at the top of each transaxle above the engine deck. Could I insert something into those fittings after removing the hoses to determine the level?
Thanks
