Rite, now I feel daft asking this but what do other people use to undo the sump plugs on axles etc, it looks like a half inch male plug, to which I cant work out what to use.... yes a wrench would make sense but some t*t has rounded part of it off. I gotta get some ep90 in before I can drive it, thanks in advance:beer2:

Anyone tried one of those "grip tite" things sold in the large DIY stores? I used to have one called a "super grip" or something similar.
It was made of soft steel, so useless. I have seen some good reviews of one called a Gator Grip, although it doesn't look like they're good for high torque applications.
Without that, I'd file/grind it to a hex and use a decent socket.

Gawd, I must be getting old
I still have the piece of crap in a tool box somewhere - can't bear throwing a tool away.
