If they are not available new, I always see them at the local pick n pulls. I have one I pulled off. They are a PIA to take off, but Iam an expert now.

I took those plugs out. I used a socket that looks like a screwdriver, think it is for adjusting tierod ends on some vehicles. and used a punch and hammer to loosen up the other one. one is the pressure relief valve, and the other one is oil thermostat. They aren`t in all that tight.
I took it apart to see how one is put together, pictures in a book is one thing, but to take one apart is more visual for me.

Might not break the housing if a back up wrench is used.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
