    Magnetic drain plug hop-up

    Harbor Freight and Northern Tool sell high strength alnico magnets. They're button shaped and are incredibly strong. Ironically, they're OD is the same as the ID on the 1100G secondary and differential drain plug heads. I popped one into place on the drain plug heads (outside surface) on my 1100G and GK before going for a ride today. I drained the oil when I got back and had to laugh at just how strong they are. To say they increase the strength of the OEM magnet is an understatement. It was almost difficult to remove the socket from the drain plug, the magnet is that strong. Just thought I'd pass this "tip" on to rest of you.

    Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.
