Post by: bigall on 18 April 2007, 16:43:59

I ground down an old 3/8ths drive bar. You can though get various sump plug sockets from halfrauds. :y

T40 torx.

...and if it has the rubber washer (not copper), then the tightening torque is 10-15NM...

The torx ones all have the rubber seal....   ....torque for both torx and hex bolts in the how2.  I will update the diesel guide as well, as there are now 2 torque settings for that.
