Nolan offered some excellent suggestions for drilling
a drain hole.

And now, for us contemplating this same chore, can
you (or anyone) suggest a size for the new plug?
I suppose I can just use a standard diff filler hole
plug, but what size drill/tap do I need to use?

Or can I just buy a plumber's plug at the hardware
store?

I've got a diff that's in great shape, but alas it
was stored in a barn and mud wasps built nests in
the four screw holes in the top. I need to clean out
the mud and then rinse out the interior for any mud
or grit that fell through.  I'm just going to use
thin oil and wash it through.
