- Yes, there is likely a special tool but you can make one for cheap. What I did was buy a large but short bolt of low grade (I think it was 5/8"). Then I used a hacksaw to square it to the right dimen

- Tapered square holes for oil plugs I thought were pretty common? Maybe just in the UK? You can pick up a tool to fit a range of oil plugs at any car parts store here - mine looks a bit like a dog bon

- We call it a rachet(pronounced ratchit) or drive. Your English is much superior to my Dutch. Quick question- how do you size sockets in Europe? We have 1/4", 1/2" rachets, what do you use in Europe (

- Here in Darkest 'Merka, we have 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" drive sockets. The 3/8" drive would seem to be the most commonly used by hobbyists. -Rock http://www.rocky-frisco.com -- Rocky Frisco's LIBER
