Scott................
Find a bolt the diameter of which is at last the length of one side of the
square recess in the plug. Cut the bolt thread off, leaving about 3/4" of
the shank. File the shank till you have four flat sides of equal,
appropriate length. Insert the newly made tool in the recess and use a
wrench to undo/tighten the plug.
