I had a Datsun with a cast iron filler plug in an aluminum transmission.
It couldn't be removed with conventional tools. My dad put a four foot
pipe wrench on it and pushed with his legs while holding onto the front
bumper. The engine/transmission torqued in the frame, but the bolt didn't
come loose.

The Datsun dealer said they didn't even bother trying to take out the
filler plug. They refilled the transmission through the backup light
switch hole. So did I.
