I was wanting to change the grease in my transaxle on my Jetta diesel.I it takes a 17mm allen type hex wrench to remove the fill and drain plugs. I went to 3 different auto parts stores and K-mart and none have a hex wrench larger than 10mm. I went on line and found many from $9 to $25 to $50 for a wrench for this. So I found a 17mm hex bolt in my shop, double nutted it and used a regular wrench to turn it to extract my fill and drain plugs. Works great. fyi

What ever bolt method is used, without a doubt I'd use a grade 8 bolt!
