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

[John Sims]

These are on the market. I bought one several years go but do not remember
where. Since I almost always buy this type of thing from British Car
Specialists, I would start there.

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
