Removal of pipe plugs (oil / water) - 289

  Water drain - 
  Located under the rearmost exhaust port on each side - 
    )Remove Starter, oil filter ( on full flow models)
    )Standard Studebaker Drain plugs have a 7/16" square head and will fit nicely 
into a 1/2" -  8 point socket.  In the event these have been replaced with a later
version that has a 3/8" head, then use the female end of a 3/8 socket extension, with 
the male end fitted with a 3/8 allen head socket.  The head of the 3/8 allen socket 
can be mated with a regular 3/8" socket with a ratchet.

    )You should first wire brush the area to clean any surface crud away amd use  a 
good grade of    penetrating oil, letting it work for an adequate amount of time.
 
 Oil gallery - 
  On one end of each head are 2  small plugs sealing off the unused access ports to
the oil distribution system.  If these have to be removed,  clean the area, soak 
with penetrating oil and use a large size Tap  T- handle, tightening the vise bit 
of the t - handle over the square head of the plug.  These tap handles usually have 
a 3/8" socket fitting on top and can be used with a ratchet to augment the twisting 
force.  Works every time...
