Default what tool? - to remove the oil plug on the supercharger?

Hi

a question, what tool to use to remove oil plug on left side of the supercharger?
its really tight and I cant really see what tool to use.

any ideas?

reason is that I want it removed is to be able to change the oil. I already got the oil kit incl. the syrange.

thanks in advance.

It's a hex socket, 5mm I think.

The hex plug is 3/16".

I use the L shaped wrench to break it loose and then a LONG 'ball-end' hex driver to unscrew the plug.

Amazon Amazon

Put a rag in the valley below the plug to catch it WHEN (not IF) it falls.
