With my 1/2 inch breaker bar on the socket, I'm now at 3 inches. Will report after I do the work on exactly how things work out, ie: how much clearance we have to access the fill plug.

I don't know IF there is three inches of clearance up on the side of the trans. I think there is... but I am not 100% sure. Please report back.
Here is the Hazet tool I use... I got mine locally here in DE years ago for ~30 euros. I can't believe what they are charging for it now...
Here it is on

Maybe get yourself a "stubby" 17 mm hex socket in 3/8th from Harbor Frieght. Or from SnapOn.
