if you don't have that size in your set of sockets or your socket set does not go up to that size go out and buy a good set of sockets that include large sizes. this is something that you are going to need if you are going to try and work on your jeep.
and no i don't know the size

My np231 is the older non allen style. The large bolts on the fill and drain holes is 30mm if i remember correctly. Not manny sets have this size I just bought one at sears.

The TC in my old '89 YJ had the same plugs. I also believe it was a 30mm socket that I needed. I bought mine separately at AutoZone (it was cheap and closer than Sears). I think I paid about $8 for the socket, maybe $10. |

weeeel tonight i went to sears with my pops and bought a 244 piece mechanics tool set for my graduation present. Then we went to auto-zone and rented a 30mm socket (correct size)...we might just keep it cause it was $1 more than the price on the shelf (out of stock). i have also aquired a grinder through the graduation present/deal thingy.
