fill plug on the my differentials. What size socket do I need to remove them? I have a 85 K5 with 10 bolts. Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe they should have a female square drive hole that a 3/8" ratchet will fit into.

Mine is square, but it isn't a hole...

Mine is square, but it isn't a hole...I can't find anything to fit it, I am new to all of this.

An adjustable wrench should do the trick

[85blazerk5]

Yeah

I guess you're right, just stuck in there pretty good and the adjustable keeps slipping off.

on the pipe style I have found that you can take them off with a 12 point socket. If its rounded form using a crecent you might not get it to work. Specialty tool place or plumbing suply place will proably be able to get you the Square drive if you need it.

is there a certain size 12 point socket?

 

[Adub]

3/4" 12 point comes to mind, but its been a while

I have an 8 point socket I use, go pick one up, should come in handy

I use a 5/8 open end wrench.
