E-dif fluid

Since the car was already up on the lift for inspection yesterday, I tried to get the mechanic to change the e-dif fluid. He had to cut off a piece of 8mm allen wrench to fit in the fill plug and destroyed his box end wrench trying to break it lose and rounding off the allen. He cut off another piece and repeated the process. We decided not to pursue the issue. It seems to be rusted in place and hard to get to. The other side of the differential is wide open naturally. Guess I'll get used to the left turn chatter.

Get him one of these so he can use a proper breaker bar.
p.s. you can have a little fun and tell him to saw one of those and put inside a itty-bitty 8mm box wrench.

Sounds like to me he doesnt have the right tools. And not hamfisted.

I will take your advise and soak it with penetrant.
If I have to saw off a #8 allen, I will used a hardened one.
