This thread spiked my curiosity and I went out to my garage and found a tool
"Blackhawk 151" Pat USA" that  will fit any female or male plug from 3/8
inches to 1 and 7/8 inches. Got it on eBay a while ago. Might keep your eyes
open for one. I have photos posted on the main page of my site for the next
day or so. Forgot I had it.  Anyone know who made this??

Greetings,

I replaced the front seal in my BT7's differential and I thought topping it
off would be the easy part. Turns out not so! Some googling has revealed
that it is a 7/8" square drive plug. The only advice I've seen is to make my
own tool by grinding down a 1/2" drive extension to fit. Well, I don't have
a grinder. Surely there's an easier way? Doesn't SOMEONE make a tool for
this?

Thanks,

-Danny
