Well, I didn't see anyone use my tool.  I went to sears and bought a 17mm
hex wrench.  Probably cost $6.  I then took my dremmel with a cut off bit
on it and cut off part of the wrench and then I used my newly made tool
with a box wrench or a socket and it worked great.  Unfortunately, all my
tools got stolen from my van a while ago (stupid of me to leave then in
there) and I haven't had time to make another one of these tranny plug
tools.
