i'm guessing it's a 17,18, or 19mm. i don't know for sure. smaller than a 3/4 and larger than a 16mm. it sucks having to go the the parts store for a wrench and bringing home the wrong size. a socket won't work. it's one of those square head nuts (i believe it's a flare nut, is this right?).

a cresent wrench would probly work with a hammer. i need something with a little more leverage.

the drain plug was a pain to get off. the guy i bought my 90 240 from didn't take very good care of it. the gear oil looked like my coffee after i put like 6 creamers in it. a good little bit of metal was on the magnet to.

Atleast you didn't find a piece of a gear tooth... that is off my friends 91 transmission, I did a swap with him coz my 93 transmission was grinding in 3rd gear due to syncros and his 91 had lower miles. He did an SR swap and had no need for it.
