Just stop by any Toyota dealership, ask them for the washer at the parts counter. They'll look it up, and (literally) have a bag of them in a drawer. The bag of a thousand costs like $10, they'll just hand ya' one and send ya' on your way generally.

You re-use the existing drain bolt each time.

Again, go to any dealership, ask for the washer, re-use the drain bolt, even the service manual says that. :-)

Ah, THAT I can understand. Had the same issue here, on my model (2007 3dr Manual) the drain bolt is a whopping 24mm head. Had to buy the metric impact-socket set to find one that went up that far.

Same problem there, couldn't find any socket-sets that went up that far without being 100+ piece sets, which I patently didn't need and don't have any interest in storing.

That, and the impact-socket set was half the price of said 100+ piece sets, and had a 'combo sale' with a good 1/2" drive torque-wrench bar they were compatable with. So... $30 + $40, versus $15 + $20 = impact-socket set wins. :-)

Sears sells individual sockets ala carte. I once needed a 5.5mm socket to drop a Saturn steering column and they had it!:headbang:

On something like a quarter-panel bolt? Sure.

On the bolt holding my transmission fluid in/letting me refill it? Hell no.

If you're wrenching on something mostly cosmetic and not mission-critical, rounded bolts are a non-issue. The uber-critical stuff though, I go for the right tools for the job. :-)

proper application of the wrong tool generally works out just fine..

but yeah 15/16 open ended wrench would do the job.. there are many nut/bolt sizes that can use either/or metric/standard
