Front differential refill plug changed by Toyota. What about the transfer case? (1 Viewer)

[RT Cruiser]

I had to replace the front diff refill plug today. The Toyota parts guy gave me this and said the part has been changed. Clearly, we can use a socket on it.

Anyone know of an affordable resource where I can swap out the front diff drain plug for a similar bolt, and that has a magnet? What about for the transfer case?

Search in this section. There is a Lexus part from an IS that has a 14mm external hex. Still relatively soft steel that has stripped for at least one person, but when torqued correctly they do a much better job than the stock 10mm internal hex part.

I seem to remember the transfer case already having bolts like the one in the picture.

Sweet. I’ll be adding this next fluid change.

This is the front diff drain plug that uses a standard socket wrench.
