Checking oil levels

Wanted to check the oil level in me rangie diffs, back one seems a bit empty. What spanner/tool do I need to remove the square plug/bolt?

Unfortunately this square bolt protudes out - it's not a socket.

an adjustable spanner or mole grips then!

Halfords do one with sq holes

Yup, adjustable spanner (and you can get a socket to go onto the square bolt, just rummage around with the sizes, its how we do ours)

Good advice, I found a slightly worn 14mm socket (dodecagon not hex) did the trick, so have marked it with tape! Was relieved to see that all the levels are fine.

Thanks!
