10 mm allen key and a piece of pipe , give it a good yank , it should shift. If all else fails mig weld a nut on , heat from welding and being able to
apply more torque will shift plug. If diff is not yet fitted to chassis tip diff on end to drain , if already in chassis try to drain using
sucktion/syphon but suspect oil may be too thick to syphon.. fill until oil runs out of filler refit plug

my drain plug was fused and ive no welder to free it, so i filled mine via the breather pipe at the top. very slow, but doable.

about a litre should do it, unless you wipe the inside clean as well as draining it, in which case you might need a smidge more.

If its LSD......
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
