Gear case plug wrench?

[rgregj]

Hey Guys,

I'm going to pick up my new deuce next week and was getting my ducks in a row. One question, The TM specs a "plug wrench" FSN 5120-708-3302 to check the levels in the trans and diffs. It looks like a square recessed plug. Will a standard rachet 3/8,1/2, or 3/4 work?

Thanks,

A half inch rachet works or a long half inch breaker bar if its stuborn.

Thanks JK, I was hoping it was something simple like that.

Don't get TOO happy yet. It is all not that simple. The 1/2" rachet/breaker bar works for my diffs, my t-case a fairly large open end wrench (5/8"-3/4"?) and my trans (Spicer Wolverhampton) takes a large allen wrench (1/2"+/-?). If you need too know the specific sizes I can crawl under the truck and look.

guess I got lucky, the 1/2" ratchet worked on all of mine.

We did not do to bad only the front axel uses the hex on the drain plug. Everything else was 1/2 inch.

Thanks all, I take my hex set with me as well, just as a precaution. Hey BFR we'll be up your way for Octoberfest!!! JA JA
