Don't apply too much torque to that bolt, the case is easy to crack. When I run into one like that I just drain it by pulling a PTO cover.

I would have to double check to make sure. But it seemed real light.

The drain plug is definitely steel

That's EXACTLY what I was worried about! Seems like the ZF cases are prone to cracking in other areas so I really felt Leary about putting torque to such a critical spot. The heat certainly helped I think
