The wife has a 02 Cougar. Its time to change the transmission fluid, I found the drain plug and its a square hole, like an Allen head. But, square. Where would i find a tool for this.
Thanks

It seems like every time I work on here car I need a new tool. LOL

 

Is it a 3/8" drive socket? Try sticking an extension in there and see if it fits.

 

If that does not work, call a local ford dealer and ask to speak to a mechanic. Then ask the mechanic what they use.

 

Or like heavy duty stuff.. its just a 1/2inch socket wrench hole.

 

Sounds good, why didn't I think of that???

 

Haha, because it's not an obvious answer. I remember the first time I found one of those and I was really confused and had to ask someone.

 

Me too. But now i F*CK with those everyday. The only ones that arn't like that are the giant 3 inch square Enton-Fuller drain plugs..

Dont strip it! Make sure there is no dirt in there, and wedge that socket wrench head in there good, tap it in with a hammer if need be.

 

I know how you feel my Probe was like that I spent more money on tools then the parts I was trying to change.lol even had to buy a torch once don't ask long story. LMAO
