Using a standard 3/8" inch wrench with an adapter for 1/2" drive
sockets works like a champ on Midgets. The adapter is a square
gizmo, and it fits the square hole in the fill/drain plugs
perfectly. The other good news is that you can put the adapter
on the end of an extension to keep your wrench (and hand) away
from the oil that tends to spurt out when removing a drain plug.
The transmission fill plug is identical, at least on my Midget.
If the pen is mightier than the sword, and a picture is worth a thousand
words, it follows that Websites and Fax Machines are the ultimate weapons.
