Default rear end plug

I attempted to change the rear end fluid this morning but the biggest size i could find is 3/8 and its not right, close but i dont want to strip it, and it is TIGHT. ( I broke the 1/4 drive)
I assume its in MM's as well?

Oh and is the tranny the same size? Ill be doing that as well.
Thanks

Been awhile since I've done mine, but for some reason 10mm comes to mind.
Anyone else?

Supposedly the "new" world standard (many years now) and I am pretty sure most car companies do the same.
