MJ, I'm not going to remove the shaft. I can get to the back side of the hole and put a rag there or someting to catch the drillings. I heard putting heavy grease on the drill bit keeps more filings on the bit.
I might just clean out the case with brakecleen when I'm done to make sure all the pieces are out.

Spec, its not going to be a regular plug like we have now, the 1/4 npt is larger than the hole there now.
If not, I can go to 3/8" npt also, but I should be OK. As I progress we shall see.

I will post as I go.
I wnat to replace the shaft seal before I'm done too.
