'91 XJ with NP231-J Tcase.

None of my sockets or wrenches fit the drain/fill bolts on the NP231, so I'm going to go and get a socket. What size is it?

All I know is that 27 is too small, and 36 is too large LOL.

Thanks.

I'm almost positive it's 30mm

Just went out and measured mine with calipers: 30.45mm

That includes a light coating of grunge.

I would say 30 mm is a pretty safe bet.

Wow ... thank you very much for doing the measurement! That's above and beyond the call of duty.

I live about 35 miles from the nearest store, so I have to know ahead of time what to get.

It's really good of you to go out and measure like that, and it is *much* appreciated. is awesome!

30mm for the large "bolt" style, 10mm allen for, well, the allen version.

Guessing they changed sometime around the switch from early to late model?
