How and where to order differential fill plug for Camry 2000?

[shet]

I was trying to get the differential fill (notdrain) plug off today but could not. In fact, it started to round off. This is for Gen Camry 2000 4 cyl.

So as a precaution I would like to order a spare fill plug. I know that the size is 17 mm dia. However, what other info would I require (for e.g. pitch in mm)? Also, where can I order this from? Also need to get the washer. I tried 1sttoyotaparts site but would not find any. Tried searching for bolt, plug, nut and what not.

Could you please help me? Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. I got this part in 1sttoyotaparts. I was also curious as to how could you get this part number so easily. I had done a lot of searching for this including going through the Camry 1997-2001 factory manuals (around 20 pdfs).

If you let me know the method, then I can search for the numbers for other parts too like the drain plug and washer for fill and drain plug.

Else I guess I can ask 1sttoyotaparts too. Past experience (when ordering EGR VSV) is that they give a prompt and helpful response.

Googling the number you gave provided me the following too from TN archives:
Fill plug : 90341‑18038
Gasket: 90430-18008 (maybe for fill plug)
Drain plug: 90341-18021

It seems that most fill plugs are snugged on pretty tight. I knew that ahead of time and put my big vice grips on there and smacked it loose with a sledge hammer.

I found mine through ToyoDIY...

I had used a 18" breaker bar from the top but the diff filler plug still did not budge. Instead when my hand slipped, it rounded off slighty.

I am planning to buy a 25" ($13 at HF) or 40" ($40 at NorthernTool) breaker bar. I would prefer the 40" bar but at $40 its expensive.
