[Healeys] service questions

[TERRY COLL]

Sorry to bother all with questions but having trouble accessing archives.
Changing the gearbox/OD oil in a BJ8 and want to know if center console has to
come out to get to the dipstick.  Also, as I have the notched type of OD drain
plug I'm wondering if there are any tricks to removing it as I'm reluctant to
proceed with the hammer/blunt instrument method.

Thanks, Terry Coll  '64 BJ8
