Fill & Drain Plug Socket Size - Front Differential

Hi everyone,

Changing the front differential oil on my 2012 KK, and trying to figure out what size square socket to get for the fill plug and what sixe hex socket to get for the drain plug. Measuring the plugs with a ruler, it seems like the sockets should be both around 8mm in size. Does anyone know if this is correct? If not, what size?

Just use a 3/8" Drive socket extension for the drain plug... No need to use any sockets.

edit: I just noticed that you also need the fill plug size. I know it's an allen key, but I forget what size.

Thanks. What about the hex socket for the drain plug?
