Back Axle

[rogerpool]

Hi all,

Hopefully, just a quickie.

I've been trying to get the drain/fill up plugs out of the back axle, but the 'all purpose axle spanner' i purchased from Halfords, doesn't fit.

Any ideas what the size is or what i could use please?

Many thanks

Rog

Top tip.

Ensure you can get the filler plug out and THEN

remove the drain plug!! :wink:

Top tip 2.

Ensue you clean out the internal hex of the respective allen headed machine screws and that your key is fully inserted (a good tap to assist).

I went to my local dealer lookin for a tool to for the rear axle plugs. They can order a special spanner but it costs about £14 ( inc. VAT ) and they said it does both drain and fill plugs and also engine sump plug. May be worth it if you can't find anything else !
