RE: Re: Tranny oil Q

You don't need to weld anything, just get two of those nuts that fit onto 
the wheel bolt and double nut it. (i.e. put on the first one nearly all 
the way down, then put on the second and tighten the two nuts against 
each other) Then use the inner of the two nuts to loosen and the outer 
to tighten. Works great.
