I was getting ready to change the oil in my front and rear axles and I was looking at the Rave. It says to use a 13mm Square Drive Wrench. I am assuming that they have them in the UK because I have never heard of one here in the US. I asked at NAPA and got blank stares. I searched online and found one in a socket set from the UK. So what is the deal? Will a 3/8" work? How do you guys pull your axle plugs? Thanks.

 

13 mm is about 1/2" just use your 1/2" socket with a 1/2" extension if needed.

 

Perfect. Thanks. Will get this done today. Appreciate the quick reply.

 

You'll have to use the 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet, not a socket.
I have an ratchet with and 18" handle that works just fine.

 

Thanks anti. I was able to get them off just fine with my 1/2" drive ratchet (which has a 10" handle). Checked my oil, was not low, and since I was pressed for time I decided to wait until the weekend to swap the gear oil. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

I use a pump, but used to cut the tip of a qt of lube, put a 3/8" hose and small spring clamp on it.

Made it a lot easier to fill diffs/transfer case

keep the end and just screw on to new qt.

luck,greg

 

Hey Greg, while I was at Autozone I looked to see if I could find a pump as I had read about one before (possibly you on another thread) but I didn't see one. Everyone was pretty busy and I was in a hurry so I didn't get to ask. Anyway....so where did you get yours?
