15/16" is what I use, IIRC....6 point works great.

Off the top of my head, it's either 22 or 23 mm.
I needed an air hammer to pull my diff drains, tho. PO had hit some obstacle
in the trail and bent both collars on the diffs.

thanks woody..i went over to depo and picked it up...i never drained the front axle because when i did the rear a few months ago it dint look to bad..(because the breather fell off)
but i did it tonight and it looked like old silver motor oil.. i dont think it was ever drain and refilled since it was made...

anywho i only punched my self in the head once trying to get the rear plug out..i ended up useing an inpact wrench to get it off...

'Cruiser owners only need the following sockets/wrenches for most work:
24mm for the axle fill and drain as well as 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22, 30, 32, 36, 46 and 54mm. I have not come across any others so far that are stock on my BJ60's or the FJ55.

What does the 56mm fit? The spindle nuts are 54mm.
