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

[Mark LaPierre]

I found these "square keys"  at an Ace Hardware in their misc. boxes of 
screws, nuts, bolts section.
Many different sizes and lengths.  Can be easily used with a crescent or 
open end wrench to do the job.   $1. 50 and the tool is yours.   Hope the 
7/16 is the correct size.
