Diff. plug size
anyone know what size the diff. and transfer case fill plugs are? I was using a 15/16" socket but one of the bolts is almost stripped, so i am going to go buy a metric socket for it, but im not sure what size it is.

I used a 24mil and still mananged to round the bolts, I wonder how much they cost...., since they are magnetized I bet Toyota charges an extra "polarization" fee...

Factory plug is made from aluminum or something else very soft. I bought aftermarket steel plugs and haven't had a problem since.

well i still couldnt get it off. I had to take it to the macnic so he could get it off the new plug was $5 in the end it cost me $40 for parts, oil and labor. the asshole that had the truck before me tighted the bolts way to tight, so there was no way i was going to get it off.
