Hi, I need to open the fill plug of the back diff. Does anyone know the size?? I have a bolt for reference but having the exact number would be very helpfull.
One more thing, The manual mentions a special tool to change the seal, Is it hard to find?

Before you pull out old seal measure distance from the edge of pocket to face of the seal or make mark on tool you will use to insert new seal. This way you will know how deep to push new seal in. If you miss this new seal will leak. Good Luck.
