Watch out for those that don't have the right Toyota tools to do the job.

I am a store manager for a jiffy lube in Fargo, ND and let me assure you that there are no toyota-specific tools necessary for any type of Toyota rear differential or final drive fluid change service. i have ton LOTS of camry final drive services in my day!

It is basically a hex nut, but it looks round when you look at it from the front. Even the new one from Toyota (for a 1988 V6 Camry) looked like the hex sides were slightly rounded at the edges, but I guess that's the way it was designed. I don't have any tool that can really grip this thing, and I can see why one of the national chain guys claimed the nut was torn and that I needed a new one.
