Overdrive plug

[WIMPUS]

Does anyone know with what you unscrew this ?

or how much distance there is between the holes and how deep they are ? (otherwise making something myself !)

:)

You used to be able to buy an adjustable tool to do this job. Probably still can. Someone should know. You could get a couple of drills the right diameter and carefully undo the plug with a small crescent. Just found this...https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.protoindustrial.com%2Fen%2Findustrial-tools%2FProto%2FFleet-Maintenance%2FPowertrain%2FJFP661_Proto%25C2%25AE-Adjustable-Pin-Spanner-Wrench%2F&ei=lL7hU4nvFMHj8AXXz4HoAQ&usg=AFQjCNE4OTIYW8CaZY-zOjLFrI2FqD8bYA

That's what I was thinking. But it would depend on the quality of the pliers too. I have a couple pair of really cheap ones that aren't good for much, and a pair that are pretty good.

You could make a tool out of a piece of 1" x 1/16" steel, if you are so inclined. Would't take much more than some heat and a hammer (to make a 90 degree bend), a vice, and a grinder.

Long nosed pliers?

You could make one of these

oohhh, shiny! (think)
I like that idea-much easier than mine. You could even do that with regular pliers

Whatever you do make sure the pins are the correct diameter or else you'll bugger up the holes in the plug and never get it out in one piece  :'(
