i had a husky socket and ratchet that fit just perfectly in there.

I had to go tthe 23mm box end wrench route too and ended up having to buy one just for this purpose. I couldn't get any other tool in that area for the life of me. I do like that the wrench is big enough to get some good torque on the bolt though, so easy off and on with the wrench. I bought a 22mm wrench to get the primary sensor off, you think Honda could have done us a favour and used the 22mm for the diff rather than an odd 23mm.

feel sorry for the person who has a fill bolt that's clocked such that they can't get an adjustable in there..... after they already drained the diff >.<

well the other option that hasnt been discussed much is to flip the car upside down and fill it through the drain bolt

that's why you always make sure to loosen/remove your fill plug BEFORE you touch the drain plug.

'cause you just never know

I put my car on 4 jack stands and went under the car to try to change the differential fluid and realized i didn't have the right tool to take off the fill bolt. Luckily i didn't drain the fluid without checking cause i was about to drain the oil. All that work for no reason. Now i have to do it again maybe sometimes next week after i buy the wrench.

I got a bottle of Mobil 1 75w 90 LS gear oil for the diff. Does the LS make a difference? I have searched all the forums and know I don't need a additive for the Limited Slip and the Mobil website says it will work with any diff. Auto Zone only had that kind on the shelf. It's GL-5 obviously. Just checking......................thxs


Actually, just read it says its compatable with both open and LS diffs.........
