An alternative would be to remove the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) from the tranny (screws in) and fill it up there. I know a lot of people who use this method. Some believe it easier than messing with that top fill bolt.
good luck.
good luck.

just get a breaker bar or a pipe extension for your existing ratchet for more leverage.... that should get it loose...

I just did mine on Saturday- sprayed PB blaster onto the bolts and let it sit... then had to use a 1/2 inch ratchet to bust the top one loose. It's friggin tight.

Wait. Hold on. You can't get the drain plug loose, yet you already drained it? That doesn't make sense to me. You need a 3/8 drive socket wrench and a pump to get the fluid in. Put the socket wrench box on the drain plug (no socket, the bare box end will take care of it) and loosen. Then get a pump from checker or somewhere, and pump the oil into the tranny. VSS is a pain to get to, but can work if you don't have a pump. Then tighten up, no need to make it dificult.

Did you maintain the same height for the new fill hole? You CAN overfill the tranny... which is not good.
