tip: Make sure you can open the filler hole, before you open the drain.

its not really that hard just drain and refill.

its a 10mm allen wrench, its pretty tough to open free handed i used a pipe and extended the allen wrench to get more leverage through a safer means.

the allen wrench was flexing almost 45degrees before the bolt came through...

just make sure your allen wrench is properly seated dont let it wiggle
