    Changing transmission fluid, how to get hex out?

    So I don't have any hexes big enough for it, how can I get it out? Does anyone know what size it is?

          I used a bolt with flats 17mm across to fit in the transmission plug, then welded a handle to the threaded end.

              I picked up a 17mm allen at Sears for $9. Less trouble than posting :-)
