sonofsam 5 Posted June 18, 2006 Does it not have a hex head bolt? ie you can get in there with a hex key rather than a socket, could be wrong mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 20, 2006 Sometimes you can't get a sump drain key in there as it catches the subframe & need a spanner instead. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted June 20, 2006 Either a big spanner or a sump plug key. I often use a large adjustable as it does not need to be seriously tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted June 21, 2006 Ish! Just enough to crush the new copper washer to make a seal as it is only holding oil against gravity, not pumped oil pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
