As with most pipe plugs, it is a tapered thread plug. . If you overtighten, it acts as a wedge and the internal force can crack the trans casting in extreme cases. .
Harbor Freight has an allen metric socket set for $13.99 that included an 17mm. . Use their 20% and get it for $11 http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-38-an...-set-67880.html |
