What size is the drain plug on a manual transmission Loyale?

 

I tried my trusty 7/8" 12 point, that normally passes for 22 mm for front pulley bolts, but it just turns on the points. 13/16" is almost big enough, but won't quite squeeze on. 22 mm 12 point ring wrench doesn't have the room to swing, and it looks like it is too loose anyway.

 

Any other ideas besides buying a 6 pt socket?

Pipe wrench.

 

It *should* be 22mm, but who knows - drain plugs get changed out all the time for random sizes.

Pipe Wrench! I should have thought of it. I had to move a bunch of stuff before working on the car, and pipe wrenches were on the top of the heap!

 

There might not be room to swing it, as the plug is accessed in a little opening surrounded by engine and exhaust pipes, but it is worth a try.
