to get the plug out? No store here carries a half-inch hex wrench, and

technique described in the archive produced nothing. Do I need to move
up to something more specialized, such as a 1/2" (or bigger?) chisel?
Any help would be appreciated!

     I'm not recommending this, but found it curious and thought I would
pass it along. I was flipping through the pages of one of those Fifth
Avenue gadget magazines and came across an oil changing unit that is
basically a pump with a hose that snakes down the dipstick hole. The
women using it on her Lexus SUV must have just arrived home from the law
office as she was still clad in her navy Nieman Marcus suit.I guess she
didn't have time to stop at the quicky oil change on the way home.
Chris, maybe she does house calls.
