Default Maintenance light blinking, Diff fluid help!

Okay, so i have a ap1 and i would like to know how do u guys take the bolt off for the differential bolt (top one) to put in fluid, i know it uses a 23mm but it was very hard and the bar frame was in the way from getting any leverage to unscrew with the socket wrench.

-when i turn on my car my maintenance lights blinks 4 times, i just changed engine oil, spark plugs, and tranny fluid, but not differential fluid i changed diff fluid 3k a while ago is it because diff fluid is low?

You know the maintenance light is for engine oil.. And has to be reset by u. it doesn't monitor your diff.. and it doesn't reset itself

There's got to be some way you can get a flat wrench on there. Try flipping it over if it is angled? or try the other end?

Hold down the reset button and turn the key to the on postion. Hold the button down for about 5 to 10 seconds and the light should go off.
