for future reference, all the bolt sizes are properly listed in the DIY guides here https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=548714

Actually, it's 24 MM for the drain bolt and 23 MM for the fill bolt. You will more than likely need a closed end 23 MM wrench for the fill bolt as most sockets won't fit up there. A torque wrench won't really fit either, so you'll need to torque that bolt by feel. Be careful!

I have done many tranny/diff flushes with ap1/ap2 and I always tell everyone to go to NAPA and ask them for a fluid pump cost about $7 but saves you a world of pain and suffering

what he said.. and don't over torque that bolt, you'll be sorry. It's not critical, so go easy. I haven't found a single wrench or socket that will fit up there, so I use a closed end 23mm.

I got one from a marine store made by quicksilver. Screws on the top of the bottle and has a tube to insert in the fill hole. Then just pump away. It made the job 100x easier.
