The part's guys at the dealerships are only supposed to be helpful in finding and selling you parts and accessories. Helping you beyond that puts their mechanics in the shop out of a job. You're not at Auto Zone with a quasi mechanic or shade tree hotrod guy behind the counter willing to give tips.

If your dealer actually stocks parts, that is a miracle in itself. They should be congratulated.

I'm having thesame problem...getting the plugout. I know mine hasn't been removed in 13 years....I tried and broke a corner of the "slot" off. Then I tried the tapping screwdriver way...darned if I didn't crack the plug and it leaks oil BARELY. Now I have ordered another plug and until it comes I'll seal up the slot and I'll removed sealer when I remove plug in a destructive manner...I though about drilling two holes, opposite the slot and make a tool to remove the old plug. Does anyone know about how much clearence there is between the plug and the stuff behind it?

Because I can!

I finally got it off with a brake adjustment tool (has a nice long flat side). I removed the generator cover and fished all the metal bits out I can find and it looks like I got them all. Adjusted the valves and hopefully all is well. Will start it later today.
