I went out and bought a 17 mm allen wrench, and although it is the
proper diameter, the wrench is too physically large to fit t he drain
plug because the (stock) 'exhaust pipes are too close.  I also
unsuccessfully looked into buying a 17 mm allen socket (said the don't
have 'em).  Does anyone know of something off-the-shelf that I can buy?
Otherwise I'm going to have to find someone with a welder to do the
tricks mentioned earlier.
