[QUOTE="Afterimage, post: 276105, member: 7676"] All right here we go.....................more pics re: axle plug washers (APW) APW 1 shows the honda washers mentioned back when I first did this thread, first washer is the regular Honda washer part # 90471-PX4-000, 2nd washer was the washer I dremeled first to open the inside diameter. I did a shitty job of the first one and it does go onto the axle plug but you have to lightly work the washer past the threads. 3rd washer was dremeled a lot better than the 2nd and that washer slips right on no problem shown in APW 2&3.....................notice it fits also properly inside the step surrounding the outside edge of the plug. I have spare Honda washers so I'm tossing the first one I did and will do another one so it looks like the washer that slips right on. APW 4 are the 2 metal washers I got from my lead............................Oh the Humanity!!!! at a Chrysler/Dodge dealer. It carries part # MFSI 2167 and it fits a drain plug on some kind Cummins diesel engine that the Ram trucks might have (parts guy didn't get specific about exactly what it fits maybe having the ZR1 T shirt on yesterday made him not want to disclose too much about exactly what this washer fits). Notice that this washer is not a metal flat washer but kind of a spring washer (flat on 1 side, slightly curved surface on the other). Parts guy mentioned that it can be reused several times before needing replacement so if you change your axle fluid a lot (like me, especially when I start tracking my car) you can get two and know you can get several uses out of it. Not cheap though each washer was $5.75 on the invoice (or he jammed me because of the ZR1 shirt LOL).....................whatever I'm driving a $2XX,XXX ride so spending a bit for something I want isn't an issue. APW 5,6,7 shows the Dodge washer in the plug, fits like a glove so again next axle fluid change I'll decide on either using these or the dremeled Honda washers.
