I just did my gear oil and other fluids yesterday. Here is a hint for the tranny, drink lots of coffee.
OK, I cut the bottom off of a 1 gal milk jug and use it as a pan, Throw it away when I am done so no clanup involved (Just put it in a few grocery bags). I used it for the rear end as well as the trans.
For the trans drain plug problem, I used an empty coffee creamer container (plastic one). Cut off the bottom. Hmmm, too wode on top. Then cut as a portion of the side, roll it in tighter and stapled it back so that it was narrow at the top and pushed it into place It held itself. Didn't spill any (except the little on ny hand from the plug removal). Again, throw it away when done. It is amazing what you can find right there in your recycling bins.
I started doing this with my dirt bikes. Works real well and I always have plenty of stuff around. You could make a more permanent funnel out of soda cans, but then you would have to clean them when done.
As for tools, a made a quick trip to Sears and bought (another) set of torx bits and square drives. They have a new "evolution" series and the price was $10 per set with lifetime warranty. It had all of the bits that I needed. Also picked up some meteric wrenches that went down to 8 and 7 mm for the brake job (that took a while for the servo but was easy).
I will be posting videos that I found and cheat sheets that I made soon, but now I have to go ride...
