Reply to "17mm Transmission Plug 'tool'"

Ha Ha - That's funny. I did the same thing earlier in the week. In fact, I almost posted about it. I went to my local Ace to see if they had a 17mm hex socket, but they didn't. A buddy of mine works at the Ace and told me of this trick. It actually works a little better if you can tack weld the nut in place. As long as your plugs aren't too stuck it will work.

I wound up having buying a tool anyway as I couldn't get the bottom plug out. It was in there pretty tight and the nuts rounded (I didn't have a fancy wrench like the one in the picture). I got it at NAPA. It set me back a cool $16 and won't work on the side plug without grinding. They didn't have it in stock at the store, but had it by the afternoon.
