Drill and Fill plug socket size?

ttahara · 07-12-09, 06:45 PM

Does anybody know the socket size for the fill and drain plug on the axle housing?

you're talking about a 1/2" ratchet

Yea probably with mid 20smm socket but I'm hoping that somebody knows what size for sure cuz my 20mm was too small so its pry 22 or 23.

15/16 6point socket works just fine

6 Point socket only work if you use the regular sockets it will round it off.

And replace them with allen head plugs so you don't have to worry about any of this next time.

Tristan now has a beautiful bar scar, (I mean fat lip from attempting to loosen the diff drain plugs on the 40 in his driveway after busting his upper lip wide open) we loosened the plugs in seconds on the lift Friday. Hope it heals well Tristan.

I just love working on the ground
One day I will have a lift.

Glenn, there is a shop that is closing and has about 6 lifts for sale. 1800 ea. installed

lextechautomotive · 07-19-09, 03:18 PM

That is about a fair price as a new Rotary 9000lb lift sells for 3200.00 The lift guys usually charge 150.00 for removal and 350.00 for installation. Wheres the shop located? Tire Balancer?

dbenke · 07-19-09, 03:59 PM

There was a balancer listed separate. I'll check Craigslist again for you and give you the details.
PM me your phone #

Yea i thought I lost a tooth in the process..it kinda looks like a Herpe now..

dbenke · 07-19-09, 04:18 PM

I chipped a tooth with a ratchet before.
But the worst was a tire iron slipped and slapped me across my face.
Shattered my glasses (glass at the time) into my eye.
I ended up in the hospital w/stiches in my eye.
It happened in May, and the doctor released me in Aug.

dbenke · 07-19-09, 04:19 PM

Glenn, I got a # on the lift(s)
Dave at 813-777-2665

No luck on the balancer, I went back to the beginning of the month.
