[Healeys] FW: I give up: how do I remove the differential drain plug?

[Blue Healey]

Guys.
I think you will find it is 7/16" square and therefore a ground down 1/2"
breaker bar will do the job perfectly.
I use a 3/8" drive to 1/2" drive converter which I have ground down and it
takes up no more room in the travelling kit than a socket.

Greetings,

I replaced the front seal in my BT7's differential and I thought topping it
off would be the easy part. Turns out not so! Some googling has revealed
that it is a 7/8" square drive plug. The only advice I've seen is to make my
own tool by grinding down a 1/2" drive extension to fit. Well, I don't have
a grinder. Surely there's an easier way? Doesn't SOMEONE make a tool for
this?

Thanks,

-Danny
