Crankshaft sludge plug removal.

Hi Brandis,
In the end I had a nut welded to the plug and used an impact gun which worked hard to get one off while second came easily.

Drill the dimples and impact screwdriver worked on one side. 

Weld and turn on the other.    Almost completely full of sludge.

.... Almost completely full of sludge.

Ah, it was worth the effort then 👍

I remember that someone in the forum said that replacement plugs were available.  I can salvage my old ones, but new would be nice.  My parts book doesn't list them for the A7.  There are #s for other bikes.  Will any of them fit the A7 ?

Hi Brandis,
If you read any of my rebuild topic you might have seen I had a bit of bother finding the right plug. I ordered 65-615 from Feked but that did not work out then ordered two other types from Draganfly of which one worked fine, just have to look at my notes to confirm which one it was.
