Hi guys,

I'd like to replace the oil in the diff's but the plugs look pretty shagged. I'm expecting they will probably be unusable by the time I get them out. Does anyone know where I can get some new ones?

Cheers,

KD.

Never realised they were tapered thread...

EDIT: Well I'm sure the fill plug is BSPP. They use a nylon washer for seal.

1 litre and narrow track are tapered, never looked at a wide track to notice, just assumed it would be the same. A tapered plug will work anyway, bit of thread tape and nip it up.

WT drain is the same as 1ltr but fillers are different, I tried to use 1ltr ones in my WT diffs so I would have hex key instead of square, but the filler one is different.

Have you tried a proper 10mm square tool - not a 3/8" drive?

Failing that - welder...

I used a Electric impact wrench from Supercheap cost $46, couple of cracks they came out.

A normal socket driver kept slipping, mines been chewed up bad too, as reubs said can get the tool, the Impact wrench fitted perfect.

In the plumbing section. Just ask for a 1/2 inch bsp. The one's I got have a thin 21mm head on them, so no more messing with the 10mm drive.

Low Range Offroad also sell the Genuine ones, worth getting them to throw in a couple when you next place an order with them:
