The allen wrench, it's big. And is it the same tool for drain & fill?

Thanks,
Bill

17mm, and there are three, two for drain and one for fill. All the same size.

Wow. I took an old 17mm shock bolt and welded a nut to the end. Works great and it was FREE :D

Pull the fill plug before the drain. You don't want to drain it and then find out you can't fill it.

Icy, now that's clever

For sure.

...and, the fill plug hole lets air in, so the drain drains quicker. Lay plenty of rags out on the floor...it's a messy job, and that stuff stinks, too!
