Default Rear Diff Drain Bolt Size

Anyone know what size socket I need to remove the rear diff drain bolt on MY05?

Thanks,
Bob

I'm pretty sure it's 24mm.

Make sure you take off the fill bolt before you remove the fill bolt. It is much more challenging. No point in draining it if you can't refill it.

I think one of the bolts is 23mm. I wound up buying both wrench sizes. I know I used both but I am not crawling back under there in the winter to find out if one really is 23mm Anyone else have an opinion?

I'm pretty sure the drain bolt is 24 mm and the fill bolt is 23 mm. There's not a lot of space to fit a regular socket for the fill bolt. Torque spec is 33 lb-ft for both.

I used a 23mm wrench for the fill bolt and a 24mm socket for the drain bolt.
