Default transmission filler plug
How can I remove Tranny fill plug on my 02 dyna wide glide without removing rear head pipe?? I dont have enough clearance to get 3/8" allen wrench between bolt and head pipe shield. Any special wrench so I dont have to remove head pipe? Im not sure the dip stick will even come out because of little clearance. thanks, Charlie

Must have an after market exhaust. Are you the original owner or can you contact the previous owner, ask how he did it. Good luck.

Even if you can get something in there to tun it, is there enough room between the plug and exhaust to remove it when it starts backing out of the hole? If you can't even get a wrench in there I would doubt you have enough clearance to get the plug out of the hole.

not sure I will be able to pull the plug out of there because of the pipe in the way. They are after Market pipes... Samson ripsaws from previous owner. The rear pipe is only about an inch away from head of plug. Worst case will be removing rear head pipe. Ugh
