How was it?

It was fun. We finished up Mike's friend Scott's BL on his bed for the Frontier. We greased the bushings on my shackles and checked a bushing on a shoick and checked out a weird noise on mine.

Dan couldn't cghange his fluids because we didn't have the right size hex tool for his differential. But a good time was had by all :D

CISO

Hex Tool?


lol

Isn't is square?

Like the shape of a ratchet drive?

:D

I haven't got a clue, could have been a figure 8 as far as I know:engel-big:....I was busy and don't own a second gen :D But they were looking for some mongo sized version of a tool that looked like a hex tool/allen wrench to me :D
:aufkopfhauen-big:

But did you hear how clean my Xterra is?

...Dan couldn't cghange his fluids because we didn't have the right size hex tool for his differential...
Yeah, I don't get this ether, like TJ said, isn't it just a 1/2 inch drive???

Maybe it was his muffler bearings. I don't know honestly as I was only picking up bits and pieces as the search went on. Also I only play a mechanic on TV so it is entirely possible I mixed facts or combined their searches for tools.

I'll let one of them clarify and sorry for any confusion.

It was still a fun day!

Did I mention how clean my X was?

:wink-big: :D

:D

The 2nd gen's use 2 different size hex bolts for the fill and drain holes. Yea i was just as surprised as you guys are when i crawled under there with my 1/2" breaker bar. Nissan must have been snortin something when they made the 2nd Gen's.

How fucking stupid. So what is it? A TORX, Allen Key, a stupid key that you can only get from Nissan?

i'll be doing my timing belt this weekend if any one wants to head this way.

Allen 10mm for the drain and 14mm for the fill plug. i had a 10 layin around but couldn't find it. Didn't have the 14mm anyway.

i changed it last night in my driveway ... at least Mike gave me a once over on what i needed to do once i got the tools (ty mike and autozone). tonight comes the front diff and OMG those bolts were the hardest thing to get off ... i have a piece of steel pipe from some old drum hardware that i bent using it for leverage getting those damn tings off.

LOL

I have no idea why they made the bungs use Allen Wrenches instead of square drives...that's so random and inconvenient.

I guess thats just one more reason the Gen 1's kick the Gen 2's Asses.

:zunge2-big:

funny story that detracts this thread even more:

changed my rear diff fluid last weekend, and the drain plug was so mangled up that a 3/8" drive would actually fit (and worked) and the 1/2" drive wasn't even close to fitting :)

damn rocks

Wow
