Just stick the 3/8 drive of your ratchet wrench in the square hole and
unscrew it.
Others have gone as far as to grind down a 1/2" ratchet wrench extension
to fit the plug perfectly. This should NOT be done with "Mac" tools but
with the cheapo chinese jobs available for $5 for a whole assortment.
1/2" is a bit big, 3/8 is a bit small so the actual size of the plug
must be 7/16". I always used just the drive end of a 3/8 ratchet with no
troubles.
