    Yep, front diff is a 10mm allen key, which I have in the screenshot of the full list, but not the top one that's broken out for some reason. Thanks for catching that; I'll update it.

    On the same topic - those front diff fill/drain plugs can get dirty and many folks round them out in the process of trying to loosen them. A good solution is to replace them with the Lexus variants, which use a traditional hex head, rather than a key.

    You can get replacements that use a regular socket, so much easier than the hex design. I think they're made for a Lexus, I don't remember off the top of my head.
