    Okay guys, first off I sincerely apologize, I know this has been talked about at great length but I must be missing something. I am trying to drain and fill my front diff but I rounded off the drain bolt. I’m trying to swap them out with the Lexus part everyone talks about that has a 14 mm hex head. I’ve ordered this part from two places now and can’t seem to get it right. I ordered the part from Lexus directly ( part # 90341-24016) but when it arrived today the threads are too big. Could someone point me in the right direction, or better yet give me an Amazon link to this part. This is killing me. Thanks for the help in advance.

    here’s a pick of the full bolt that came out compared to the Lexus part

    Please disregard, I am a knuckle head and figured it out. To anyone else who struggles like me. The drain and fill are different sized plugs. I didn’t know that cause my drain plug is still stuck in the diff. For anyone that wants it the fill plug part number is Lexus 90341-18060. You know my wife always says if I was any dumber they’d have to water me twice a week. :D

    Hey at least you realized it sooner or later. I got mine from Lexus a few months ago and will be doing both diffs once the weather warms up a bit.

    Fill Plug: 90341-24016
    Drain Plug: 90341-18060
