Hey guy's, I got some transmission fluid from amsiol so I could change the original fluid but I cant find an allen wrench big enough to fit the fill plug. Any input would be much appriciated. I have no problem ordering something from snap on if I have to just need to know the size.
 
Just use a short 7/16 bolt, lock two nuts on it, they will be 11/16 and fit in the plug. Turn the bolt from the bolt head end, it will be 5/8. Or vicia/versa I forget which end fits:)

I got one from my small town independent parts store. But I've used the bolt with 2 nuts homemade tool before on other vehicles-definitely cheaper and more available. Jim
 
you can also run to your local auto parts store and get a jug pump. pull out on of the upper retaining bolts of the PTO cover and shoot the oil in that way.
 
I got a 17mm allen wrench at Sears to do mine. Or you can also pull off the console (on the floor of the cab) and shifter and fill from there. That way you can and a little extra like some guys are doing.
 
I found an old hex handled chisel that fit and cut it in half. Put it on the grinder to take the burrs off. Turn it with a crescent wrench and I'm good to go. It would be much easier with a proper tool, but it works the every two years I have to use it.
