Can anyone tell me what wrench or socket I need to remove the plug on my 65 Valiant convertible?

Just pop the drive of a 1/2 inch ratchet wrench into the hex-looking thing and screw it out.
Thanks I did not try that.Just pop the drive of a 1/2 inch ratchet wrench into the hex-looking thing and screw it out.

I see someone disagrees with this statement. Not sure why. If we're talking about the fill plug on the differential cover of a 7 1/4 rear end, that may look to modern eyes like it takes a Torx fitting, but it's not. To my knowledge Torx wrenches didn't even exist in 65. At any rate, the half inch drive of a ratchet wrench is what I have used many times, and I found a You Tube video that shows how a half inch drive (in the video, of a breaker bar) fits the plug perfectly.
An 8 3/4 rear has a fill plug on the passenger side of the chunk. That plug takes a half inch open end wrench.
it would be nice if to disagree, you had to give a reasonI see someone disagrees with this statement. Not sure why.
I have often wondered about that too when disagreeing made no sense at all. Maybe it is because the agree and disagree buttons are side by side. Then being forced to justify the disagree would make even more sense.it would be nice if to disagree, you had to give a reason

probably happens more with people posting from their phones. small screens and too many of us with old eyesI've hit it by mistake a number of times just scrolling. A couple of times folks PM'd me and asked about it. I just went back and removed it.
Maybe something as simple as a pop up script that said, "Are you sure you want to disagree?"probably happens more with people posting from their phones. small screens and too many of us with old eyes
That was a good oneIf the plug is stripped and has a flange, i hit the edge with my air chisel. That will move it. Then install a new plug. Or weld 1/2” nut to it...
