You can get a square wrench ... there's a fellow on eBay that sells them from
time to time although I don't recall his handle offhand.
Or what I like, an 8-point socket from Sears.
Once it's out (and you've spent all that money on wrenches <g>), I'd recommend
replacing it with a hex socket pipe plug. And Teflon pipe dope on the threads.

Something wrong with this picture, the gearbox has to be vented. If it's not
vented, then the pressure that builds up when it gets hot will force oil out the
seals.

Can you get to a top cover bolt ?

Don't know, but I don't see why not. I like my hex socket pipe plug idea
better, that's what I've got on the Stag and it works slick.
