Does anyone know the size of the allen wrench needed for the one hydro drain plug?

I just found the answer - 10mm hex head for that plug. Gotta make things difficult, don't they.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( no need to remove the front wheels, though. i watched with interest as they drained the front axle, and it did get all over the inside bottom of the wheel and tire, and then drained into a larger drain pan. the drain pan was large enough to catch the oil from the axle and the drippings from the tire.)</font>
The problem is that most of us don't have a drain pan that big. I didn't take my wheels off either but once the fluid started running down the tire, a fair amount missed my fairly small drain pan. Removing the wheels would have prevented that. Next time I think I'll get me a big drain pan. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
The drill pump sounds like a good idea. I got mine filled with no mess, but it is awkward standing on the lower links hoisting a 5 gallon bucket, which must weigh near 50 pounds and pouring it slowly to accomodate the narrow funnel.

I think the spec is wrong. )</font>
I think you're right. I never paid attention to how much I put in. I got as much out as I could and then just filled it until it started to run out of the check hole. Not much else you can do.
