Hello all, I am trying to change my lower unit oil, but am running into difficulties getting the plugs out. Short of drilling them, are there any tricks that anyone can throw my way to help me out? Thanks<br />Scott

An impact screwdriver should do the trick, Scott.<br /><br />You can pick one up at most good HW stores. Put the blade in the slot and smack it with a mallet (better than a hammer).<br /><br />Be sure to use new gaskets when you reinstall them.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
