List,

Have a question. I have replaced the gaskets, seals, etc on my transmission.
Filled it up with gear oil and put the top back on. However, I want to make
sure that I can put oil in/let it out as necessary after I put it back in
the car. Problem is that the level plug will not budge. Tried knuckle
busters, but they don't hold well enough in that tight area. So I put a box
wrench on it (7/16ths), but it rounded off the edges. Do you know if anyone
sells a square shaped box wrench for removing square bolts? Once I get this
out, I put in a hex head pipe threaded plug, but need to get this off first.

Help?

Thanks.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism...
