ABSTRACT:
An access plug for providing a removable closure for a threaded hole in a housing of an electric starter or the like. The access plug is formed of a plastic molding material and has a cap member and a retainer member that are joined by a thin annular frangible portion. When assembling the plug to the threaded hole the plug is aligned with the hole and one end of the plug engages the housing. A tool now applies an axial force to the plug which causes the retainer member to be inserted into the hole, causes the frangible portion to be sheared or broken and causes a portion of the cap member to be inserted into the retainer member. When the frangible portion breaks a bead on the retainer member remains which is engaged by a ratchet tooth of a series of ratchet teeth formed on a part of the cap member.
