30mm socket a sloppy fit diff fill bolt?

[f_vos]

Brought a new 30mm socket with the intent of changing the diff oil.
Well it has plently of slopp/play and and I am not real keen on trying to loosen
the fill plug/bolt.
Non LSD diff series 2 04 VY so is it 30mm or 29mm.

I'd recommend investing in a quality set of socket wrenches. A good one will cost you around $200, but treated right will last a lifetime, and you'll be wondering how you ever managed without one

Well I did buy a Sidchrome (14247) SKT 1/12" DR 30MM.
I read the following thinking it was to be a easy job
How To: Changing Differential Oil
How To: Changing Differential Oil (VZ)
So I went to the local Sprints to see about a 29mm socket.
No sir 30mm and up is all we stock no 29mm.
Guess it may well be time to look around and buy a set.

As Danja said, invest in a good quality socket set and you will never look back, and its cheaper than buying sockets individually. If you go Sidchrome, they have a lifetime warranty so if you break anything you can take it to any shop that stocks it and they'll give you a free one from my understanding.

I'd recommend Sidchrome 14210 1/2" DR 33 piece metric set (about $170), Imperial is not used much these days and many sets come mixed imperial and metric so that's why i bought the 14210 metric set and 1/2" drive is big enough to handle most jobs.

OK sounds like the way to go and thank you for the the advice.
