Transfer Case tool needed?
Have a g35x, looking at transfer case, the drain bolt appeared to be torx. I tried my largest torx T50 and it was too small. Anyone who has done the drain/fill, do you know the Torx number for this bolt?
Thanks,
Mike

"2. Transfer Case: Tcase is located behind the auto transmission. fill plug is 10mm hex, drain nut is 1/2 nut square nut. my breaker bar uses 1/2 nut square end so it worked out. again remove fill plug first THEN drain plug. remember this isnt thick like diff fluid; it is actually a form of ATF(very thin) and since drain hole faces you instead of the ground be ready for the fluid to shoot out. drain nut from factory does not use any crushwasher instead has RTV silicone on the threads. i personally didnt bother as the older goop was on there thick so it didnt leak for me but you should be ready with new RTV incase. reinstall drain nut then pump in fluid until it leaks out (i used nissan matic-D). about 1.5q went in."
