[TR] Substitute for tool L354A for removing plugs in J typeoverdrive unit

[Roger Elliott]

First time I pulled those plugs out, I found an open end wrench that 
would fit into the holes, then used an adjustable wrench to grab the 
open end wrench to turn it.

I have since purchased a tool like this one though, I think I got it 
some place else.

I have not used it yet though.
