Hi all,

Can anyone tell what size tool I need to unscrew the filler plugs in the swivel housing? I know it's tempting to comment on questions about tool sizes but it's the square ratchet socket thing I'm referring to :-)

Thx!

I think it is a standard 19mm socket. I always use a socket on mine.

Sure it's hex? I took a quick peek some time ago, and there appeared to be a square cutout in the nut.

It's a 14mm hex on post-1982 (I believe this is the year) G-Wagens.
