    this thread kinda got off track from the OP but: I need the part # for a replacement rear drain bolt. I did the front diff already, and while the drain plug was a bitch, I was able to get it off. Thankfully I don't have to deal with rust in the southwest.

    The rear drain bolt though.... the fluid was changed awhile ago by the dealership according to records and I'm assuming they over-torqued it. The bolt is starting to round, so I want a replacement before I do what I have to do to get it off.

    I’ve posted this before but this is what I had to do, cut a slice, wrap it, and tap it on with a deep socket. I know, I’m terrible, lol
