: what size allen key for the fill plug on the NP231?? Sharp 02-10-2002, 09:40 AM thanks, just finished the SYE install last night, but i don't have an allan key large enough to get the darn fill and drain caps off so it does't have any ATF in it at the mo, thanks for the help. :beer: Duche79 02-10-2002, 09:53 AM My NP231 out of my 95 XJ doesn't have any plug caps but 2 big bolts for drain and fill plugs. Ones about a 30mm and the other 28mm or so. :flipoff2: :smokin: Dan-H 02-10-2002, 10:00 AM The later 231s are different. I didn't have that size either. I found a bolt with a head the same size as the hex on the plug, put two nuts on the bolt, snugged them together so they can turn and made one.

Chris 92xj 02-10-2002, 11:46 AM This isn't a flame, just FYI (I'm newbie-er than you are) but you can get one of those little 3-inch metal rulers for the tool box and always know what size tool to buy when you encounter a new size bolt or fitting.

I would like to put a drain cock on mine. TrevorXJ 02-10-2002, 03:11 PM TJoop is correct, it is a 10mm allen fits like a glove. :flipoff2: withamc 02-10-2002, 05:57 PM Originally posted by JEEP_TJ_FREAK Okay does anyone know the thread and pitch of it?

Pull it out and take it down to a hardware store. cmk 02-10-2002, 08:04 PM AAAAHHHHHhHhhHHhHH ... dude said cock! :flipoff2: cm "meow" k Sean99TJ 02-10-2002, 08:23 PM Mine takes a T55 torx:emb: nmujeepin 02-10-2002, 09:20 PM mine took a drill bit and an easy out :smokin: GriptrukTJ 02-10-2002, 10:40 PM Yes, contrary to what your owners manual may show, my 231 has a fill and drain that are both (i think) 15/16" The way it showed it in the diagram would have been nearly impossible to access due to the close proximity of the catalytic converter. When I changed my fluid I spent about an hour scratching my head, then looked on line and found a good writeup and did the fluid change in about 10 minutes. | |
