Question Simple Mechanical Question (Trans - Diff)

Hi everyone.

I just went outside today to change the diff and transmission fluid, but am unsure of the sizes for the drain and fill plug required by the tranny, and the fill plug for the diff. :togo:

The biggest allen key size I had for the transmision drain plug was 8mm, but I suspect it is somewhere around the 10mm mark??

The diff had a fairly large fill plug, and once again the biggest spanner I had was 25mm?

If anyone knows the sizes I need that would be appeciated, so I can buy what I need to finish the job.

Cheers,

For the diff I just use a large shifter, does the trick every time.
