looks like that. its a 24 mm or 15/16 socket.
don't remember which side it's on though.
it is on the passenger side. I couldn't find the fill plug so I just poured it in through the shifter. Also, I used a 24mm but I heard that it might be a 23mm. Does the 23mm work better? My 24 wasnt a perfect fit.
hmm never though to try a 23 but my 24 mm fit alright......
thats NOT the fucking problem though bolt won't fucking budge at all And I gave it like all 300% of my might too. soaked it in some liquid wrench try it tommrow I guess. Might need a impact wrench for this one:aigo:

I'd try using the great old PB Blaster. Also, the fill plug is on the drivers side. It is a PITA to get to. I had to chop a socket to about 1/2'' and use vice grips to loosen and tighten it.
Did you make sure to put the right amount in since you filled it from the top?

I use a closed end wrench (24mm IIRC) and then I put another wrench on the end as the leverage bar so to speak. You can also buy a new one from Toyota for 15 bucks if you screwed that plug up.

ooor, you do what i did and buy a rear diff fill plug, cause its exactly the same but cheaperupgradedsupra said:I use a closed end wrench (24mm IIRC) and then I put another wrench on the end as the leverage bar so to speak.

yeah, sometimes it's almost impossible to remove. i got mine off by placing a scissor jack under the wrench, and then slowly raising the jack until the bolt loosened.
Zero effort, and the best way to loosen tough to loosen bolts when laying under the car, IMO.

I did something similar on saturday. I was taking the bottom 3 nuts off to take off the twins and didn't have much leverage. So, I put the wrench on there and used my cargo straps for my bike trailer and hooked it to the wrench and the tranny mount and just wrenched them loose. I don't know if I'm just smart or lazy.
btw, easiest way to refill the tranny is to remove the shifter. get yourself a good measuring cup so you can put in the correct amount.

Actually, they are the same as I bought all new ones last week
(Diff and trans drain/fill plugs)As far as taking it off, you just use the closed end over the plug then the closed end of another to go over top of the open end that is on the plug? Make sense? It is easy and will come off np. Heck do I need to take a pic? (I won't though:icon_razz )

really? then change dealers :icon_razz. i get mine for 5 bucks a pop, and this was a week ago as well!upgradedsupra said:Actually, they are the same as I bought all new ones last week

For the magnetic plug too? Sure you do.
I see that this thread has served it's purpose so I will close it.
