I took a thumb screw like this in 5/16-18 thread (had some laying around) and 2ea. 5/16-18 nuts. Put the nuts on and jammed tightened them together toward the outer edge of the threads. Then proceeded to massage the thumb portion on the bench grinder to slightly thin and re-profile the top edge to better fit the slot of the filler cap. Result is you can put a 1/2 inch socket on a ratchet and get good pressure pushing and good torque loosening up the cap at the same time. Glad you got yours loosened up.

Who knows, the idea might take off and I can make a bunch in metric, have them chromed, then go broke trying to sell them at just under cost Dont hold your breath, if work keeps staying as busy as it is, I MIGHT make it out for the Ozark M&G coming up, since I didnt get to go to Celina this year would still like to get a little face time with the kids and grandkids if possible, we'll see.

Got everything to fix it but paint so far. She will be 2 different colors, but there is a whole winter to fix that.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1016954 RoadstarTerry (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 363 Re:transfer case filler cap 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   My man Rod! Great McGiver tool! Love it! But it is a bit disrespectful when SAE and 1/2" is mentioned....lol However I have to defer to the availability of the fasteners in the aforementioned albeit blasphemous thread pitch   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/07/12 20:23 By RoadstarTerry.   Pat Tillman American Legion Post 117 Service Officer American Legion Riders Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard Rider   The administrator has disabled public write access.
