Rear Differential Oil Filler Plug?
Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice. I have 2011 XFR and would like to change the rear diff oil. Had a look in the workshop manual and under the car. It appears the filler plug is nicely hidden with little access to get a key in there. I'm guessing it's a hex key but not sure the size/best method for removing the plug. Refilling will likely be 1.1 litres via a hand pump..
Thanks in advance...

In case anyone else is looking found these:
I think your solution is much stronger though. Not sure how tight that bolt is in there.

The XFR diff case is different than the 09 Supercharged correct? The XFR and later Supercharged models have the E-diff so I imagine it is. I had no issues accessing the fill plug on my 09. No tools were harmed.
Here is the fluid I used:
I sucked out all the old fluid with a cheap hand pump and pumped in the new fluid.
