Default 05 Widetrack STI front diff drain plug

Anyone know if the front diff drain plug on a 05 widetrack STI is a torx T70 or the 21mm hex?

Would like to know before I start the job because I don't have a torx T70.

Got the car jacked up today and it is a 21mm hex for the front diff.

Nice new motul 300 in the gearbox and limited slip stuff in the rear diff.

Bit late i know, but isn,t the diff incorporated in the gearbox, and not separate from what you inferred above.

drop gearbox oil and you do both, as you have done.

not trying to smug, its just in case any one else is looking for a front diff drain plug.

Mine has a separate front diff plug but then its an auto box.....

The front diff and gearbox share the same oil but there is 2 drain plugs, 21mm for the diff and a 14mm for the gearbox drain plug.

Pop them both back in and fill through the dipstick hole
