    Have you confirmed this? I thought that PN was for the rear fill plug not the front?

    Guys.....just don't gorilla arm tighten the plug.

    Its a drain plug, not a structural frame part. Snug it up to seal and all will be good.

    I recently had to use the hammer/chisel method on mine. Replace with OEM plug. Tightened it like I do the oil pan plug, then a little more. Done. I'm sure it is nowhere close to the recommended torque spec...... its tight enough to not leak.

    Are there any issues with using an impact gun with a quality socket (10mm)? I'm older and I might not have enough ass to break the drains/fills free.

    Impact may work well. Suggest to have a replacement plug on hand......just in case things go poorly. Maybe even have a 3 lb hammer and cold chisel handy.

    I used an impact gun on mine. I first gave a quick blast to tighten/shock it, and then did the loosen, worked great.

    My local SoCal Lexus dealer has PN 90341-A0002 for $19. They didn't have the other PN on this thread. It definitely seems worth it, hoping to pick one up soon.

    I replaced both of mine when I did my last differential oil change. Used the Lexus one for the drain and Dorman, 090-042CD, for the fill level plug. The Dorman plug was only $4 at the local auto store.
