I've had a lot of luck finding bolt size and thread pitch by using NSN-now.com

Find the part number in the manual, copy (right click, copy), paste into NSN-now's search window (far right on home page options takes you to the search function), right click, paste, enter.

You'll find the part listed by sellers, and LOTS of other data when you scroll to the bottom of the page where the particulars are described. Material, finish, etc.

But yeah, start with the manuals. Download them to your 'puter and use a good PDF reader (adobe acrobat /reader is still free but open office works as well) and search away. EZPZ.

Give it a shot.

they make this new technology feature called "search"... makes amazingly fast results in those TM's

If I remember correctly, you need a 33mm socket to remove the transfer case fill plug. Always make sure you can remove the fill plug first before you drain it.

I just did this yesterday. My 218 case drain and fill plugs took a 30mm 12 point socket.
A friend had given me a flat stamped spanner wrench but it was too flat and couldn't get square on the fill plug so I ran to Northern Tool and found an $9 socket
It's likely the only time I will ever use it.
