Does anyone have any idea as to what size allen wrench is required to remove the fill plug? I've checked the service manual and I don't see a listing for the size. Also I noticed the service manual indicates the torque setting is 25-35 ft lbs. How do you use a torque wrench in this application. Thanks for the help.

I think that I've figured out the correct size hex wrench. It looks like it is a 9 or 10mm. Also I didn't realize that you could buy a hex socket, so that answers my question about using a torque wrench. Sorry for the post - next time I'll try to figure out the answer first before I jump the gun. Thanks guys.

I don't know the size, but once you find out, you can purchase an allen wrench on a 3/8" socket to attach to the torque wrench. I don't know if you have to buy the whole set, of if you can purchase just the one size you need. Sears might be a good place to look.

You need a 3/8" hex bit/socket.
