I found that with the proper wrench it was too big to get to the drain plug. The exhaust pipe was right in the way. I would up buying a bolt and a couple of nuts (measured their sizes with a caliper to make sure they were exactly 17mm) and used them instead.

The drain plug requires a 17mm allen wrench that you can get from Sears or NAPA. The filler plug needs the same tool and it is located on the rt side of the transmission, a little forward of the drive shaft and a little higher. You will need to do some acrobatics with the wrench handle pointing upwards to get it loose but its not really that hard , unless someone overtightened it. The thread is tapered so the looser it gets, the easier it comes out. Steve Cotsford '84 Westy
