adding a drain plug to an 8 3/4 axle

All you need is a nut and bolt.

Drill a hole. Weld the nut to the case over the hole. Put a nut and nylon washer in the hole.

Nothing simpler.

I can't remember. But it wouldn't have been metric.

The bigger the bolt the faster the oil will flow out. But the bigger the danger of hitting it on something.

10mm will be fine, especially if you take the fill plug out, should drain quick enough. Bet it's empty by the time you've taken all the nuts off, before you have to whack poo out of it to break the seal.....

I need to change the oil on mine... (its been nagging at me as something I have not done yet).

This sort of answers a question I was gonna ask...

Are you going to drill a hole to get the oil out?
