Stupid Moser fill plug I traveled all over town trying to find a hex key or socket big enough for the fill plug but couldnt find it anywhere. I just ended up filling through the breather hole with GM LSD fluid and 3 quarts of 80w90. Is this allright?
What size is it anyway?

Re: Stupid Moser fill plug 96zee,
I assume you're talking about the fill plug on the passenger side of the housing (if you have a stud girdle that'll have a fill plug too)? Is it a hex (i.e. Allen) or square?
My Strange fill plug (FWIW) uses a 3/8" hex head. You should be able to pick up about any hex size at your local Sears. If you don't know the size and you have nothing that fits, an old trick that has worked for me is to get some PlayDoh, spray WD40 on the plug, press the PlayDoh into the hex, and remove. Then take your "mold" to Sears or where ever and compare sizes.

Re: Stupid Moser fill plug It is a 9/16 allen socket.Had to buy one from the Snap-on guy.......$23.00 !! In a pinch you can always use a 9/16 bolt and jam two nuts together on the end of it

Re: Stupid Moser fill plug go to a parts store that carries a lot of 'help' stuff and buy the 3/8 thread exhaust manifold nut kit. They are super long 3/8 (9/16 hex) nuts. Just use them with a 9/16 socket and you are good to go..
