You should never need a SAE wrench to get off any of those bolts. I understand there close, but just use the right size.
Besides...that wrench list is wrong
It should be a 24mm Wrench/socket. The bolt itself is a M18x1.50 thread pitch. That is the exact same for the front/rear diffs, the transmission, and the Transfer case fill/drain bolts.

I don't have a 24mm wrench, so closest is
(15/16 inch) / (25.4mm/inch) = 23.8125mm >> 24mm

Or, you could get a set of IMPACT sockets brand new for avg $1.30 each. http://www.harborfreight.com/10-piec...set-67899.html Keep the set together, and you won't be fishing around that old ammo box looking for the right size wrench.
Your choice.

If I don't have a 15/16", can I use a pipe wrench?
I hate to be a "snob," but using the wrong sized wrench on your $2,000 vehicle is just wrong. If you're going to go to the trouble to get the right transmission fluid and the correct gear oil, why not just get a set of wrenches you can use on vehicles (do you know of any cars/trucks made in the last 30 years that use SAE wrenches? My 1974 Ford Mustang II was all metric.)

But...these old trucks are mostly if not all metric. If you own one, why in the hell would your first advice be to use SAE tools on it? Whatever works, works, but I don't usually eat soup with a fork unless I have to. If that makes me a snob, so be it.

Pipe wrench works best to remove them. Then throw them away & replace with Marlin Crawler or WabFab Allen wrench models with the built in magnet.

" Seriously now, My Craftsman set from 1986 (still in great condition) did not have the bigger metric sockets, but it has the15/16" that's actually a tighter fit than 24mm.
Happy weekend,

Sorry but...
Don't like to cut a steak with a butter knife
Don't like to take a bath with dirty water
Don't like to shovel snow with a rake
Don't like to take a knife to a gun fight
I could go on and on, but the point has been missed by you. Use the right tool for the job. Period. There is no excuses for not having a metric socket set if you do your own work on your truck. Harbor freight sells them for dirt cheap. It's too expensive to be cheap.
