    sears is where I got mine. If you can wait till next week and if it is only for a day you can barrow mine. I think I have a 70, now my brain is thinking 45, I will check when I get back in town.

    ^^T70 is for changing the front diff (or tranny? can't remember) on some newer Subarus. Not sure what else it might be used for. I have an auto, so not sure what the manuals are like.

    but a T60 works just fine like Nuke said. I went ahead and ordered a T70 bit for future use online somewhere (forgot where). But there about 5 dollars or something.

    yeah thats it. i remember now that i ordered mine from autobarn.net. $7 bucks for a Lisle made bit with shipping at around 6 bucks. Shipping from my experience was kind of slow. Took about 10 business days to get to my house. or you could try a snap on truck and possibly spend around 35 dollars.

    Even my old 99 OBL has a Torx for the front diff drain plug. Rear is still just a 3/8" drive ratchet for check/fill and drain.

    In a pinch you can use a allen (internal Hex) key, that is if you have one that is large enough

    No Problem. I couldn't find one at the Woodbury NorthernTool. But you might have luck elsewhere. If not, let me know.

    Transmission drain plugs changed to T70 during the 04 model year I believe. Something about Jiffy Lube or Valvoline routinely mistaking the tranny plug for the engine oil plug and then overfilling the engine oil and leaving the tranny bone dry.

    not sure why that would be smart or why they'd change it unless the threads were bad..
