try to use a single hex 19 but if that dont work you might be able to bash a old 18mm socket onto the head of the bolt. be carefull not to crack the case...

| The shonky way, is to reason that you got it off this time, so logically it will come off again next time, I say re use it |

the stock ones that come with raptor 350s have a history of self destructing so ive found out.
when oil changing i dont force it so its to tite .. and allways used the correct socket size when removing it ... the edges of the head just fell off in the socket
for such a bullet proof motor they sure as hell made the sump plug out of crap |

I agree with wa5....reuse it.... it makes a dull and boring job entertaining for other people to watch.

Do you mean a 6 point socket vs a 12 point?
