[AJD] Final Drive Drain Plug

[Terry L. Hrdlicka]

Robert,

Same here, but I usually weld a nut on the other end of the bolt so I 
can use a wrench or socket to get a better grip.  Then I loose the 
"special tool", and the next time I need one like it, I have to make 
another!  Gotta be a dozen or so of those around here somewhere :)
