Access to Differential Fill Bolt to Torque
#31
Wow, to R&R the gears and cost of that rear case... muy $$$ fix. No?
#32
Next time I pull my fill bolt I am going to have to take a very close look. I think its ok - but I did feel something I did not like last time I snugged it up. It is snug though. So, maybe its ok. Another thing to keep me up at night.

Random point, I just did this with a crowsfoot wrench and it worked great. I also replaced the fill bolt with another OEM magnetized drain bolt, so now it has dual magnets. I just never understood why they'd make each bolt a different wrench/socket size. More of an ease of use thing.

Crowfoot extensions seem pretty accurate...

I just replaced the rear diff fluid (2001 Berlina Black 26K miles). used 23 mm combo wrench to remove the fill bolt, then used 15/16 6pt socket with 3/8 drive torque wrench to torque to 33 Lb Ft. be sure to use 6pt 15/16 socket not 12 pt. 12 pt socket might round. if you have 23mm low profile 3/8 drive socket, it will work also.
