I think you might be able to get a sharp point chisel edge to 'walk' the plug loose.

If push comes to shove, remove the coolant hose in front of it and try a Torx bit.

Also the extract and fill tubes I used.

Hope this helps some.

Did you have to modify a standard 3/16 allen head to get into that tight fit?

I have a cut/shortened 3/16" allen key for this purpose.

I also have LONG REACH ball end allen driver.

HEY AHHHHHH... anybody ever go in there and not find ANY OLD OIL? I've got about three different sized tubes shoved pretty far in there, and pulling back on the plunger results in no old oil. Car runs great. No supicious noises at all. Typical...
