How to remove the lubrication plugs on Bachman trucks

What is the best easiest way to remove the lubrciaton plugs from the bottom of the Climax, Heisler and Shay Bachman trucks? I’ve ended up tearing many of them.

I just take the bottom plate off and don’t worry about the plugs. You can get to the gears better too.

I agree with Terry skip the plugs and get right to the guts.

The plugs are a wate of time. I remove the bottom plate, just like the others have said.

When in doubt, rip it out, the entire bottom plate, that is.
