Oil drain plug removal tool

["content22207 <brobertson@xxxx>" <brobertson@xxxx>]

I just bent a piece of 5/16" keystock 90 degrees. Square recess is 8mm
-- same basic size. Once you have plug out you can replace with a hex
head if desired (most parts houses have beaucoups of different size
plugs), but IMHO would be harder to maneuver against cross member than
the stock plug.
