Wrenches needed?
What wrenches and/or bits do I need to remove the transmission and rear diff drain bolts on a 2013 WRX?
I read I need the T70 for the transmission drain bolt on any year 04+ and just wanted to confirm that. But the bolts on the rear diff looked like they need some sort of square bit? Am I imagining things?

The rear diff is just a 1/2 inch drive. You can stick a breaker bar in there.

Yes, T70 for tranny. You can pick one up at Auto Zone for like $3. 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet does both fill and drain for the diff. (remember to open the fill first......just in case)

Never had a problem and have been using ratchets and breaker bars forever. Then again, I'm of the school that "special tools" are for people who can't innovate. I made my own T70 out of a chisel and cutoff wheel because I'm too impatient to go find one. Works great. I'll have to put a pic on instagram tonight of that piece of work..... |

Harbor Freight has metric square drive kits now, and UltimateToolCo has them here on NASIOC. http://ultimatetoolco.com/13mm Now, most of my cars Ive used a 1/2" square drive anyway without issue. But I have seen first hand plugs get mangled with a 1/2" square drive. Last edited by vision.dynamix; 07-02-2013 at 11:02 AM. |
