[DML] Re: Changing oil question





Japheth - The square is about 5/16", which is in between the standard 
square drives for most ratchets.  Some people make a tool from a 
larger allen wrench by grinding one end square to the proper 
dimensions.  Others actually have the correct tool to use for this.  
I personally (many years ago) took a 7/16" diameter bolt, cut all but 
about 1/2" of the shank off, and then used a file to make the remains 
of the shank square.  I just slip this "tool" into the plug, and use 
a box-end wrench to turn it.  You can do whatever works best for you, 
but that is the scoop.
