And the saga continues.....drilled out the diff flange....wasn't too bad. Moved to transfer case side and had trouble removing 17mm fill plug with 12 point socket. I could tell I was going to f it up, so went to orielly's for a socket. The only shallow six point they had was in a crappy looking set.....bought it anyway as it was 1/2" drive. Promptly snapped socket upon returning home and am hoping they'll take set back this afternoon.....high hopes for a broken hand tool. So I ordered a set of impact sockets from ebay and will await those and 8 of the low profile Allen plugs from MC. I just went ahead and bought for whole truck and will replace as needed. Also, my driveshaft bolts arrived at Toyota today, so I've got this now too.....they robbed me, I'm embarrassed to tell what I paid.

BTW the centers on the t case side lined up but I didn't trust the square flange to hold up after making holes bigger and closer to edge, see pic.
