Transfer Case Fluid change

Do you use a 3/8 & 1/2 socket to drain the tcase? I looked under there as i was changing my tranny fluid and it looked like square holes. Was in a hurry and didnt have time to investigate further.

Anybody changed the fluid know what to use for the drain plugs?

Just use a 3/8in socket extension without a socket. Stick the extension on a ratchet, put the square end of the extension (the one that normally goes into a socket) into the drain and fill plugs and turn them CCW to loosen. Clean up the area first and make sure you can loosen the fill plug before you remove the drain plug.

That sounds about right as far as the procedure. If I remember right, also, the fluid for the t-case is Dexron II ATF:

> make sure you can loosen the fill plug before

Very good advice, I have seen some "mechanics" drain a case and then couldn't get the fill plug undone. Happens a lot on rear ends too.
