Just guessing here but could the seals blow out if no relief was provided??:confused3:
Your guess is correct. You will blow out the seal if you do not remove the plug when greasing.

Are you sure it's not 9/32"? If so, maybe this would work.

Why not just use a Crescent wrench?Good thought Mike!
I hadn't thought about a fractional size that would work.
I also never noticed a 9/32" square socket before.
9/32" x 25.4mm/inch=7.14mm,a tad loose but might just work OK.
Thanks.
I tried a crescent wrench...a 7mm seemed to be the closest fit, but it is really stuck on there and I started rounding the corners so I thought I would try a 4 or 8 point socket...but can't seem to find one. I got a feeling my best bet is going to be a set of vise grips and hopefully(?) replacing the stupid plug with a regular bolt of some type.
Crescent wrench=adjustable wrench. Adjust it tight as possible, plug as far in the jaws as possible. I would think you should be able break it loose.I tried a crescent wrench...a 7mm seemed to be the closest fit, but it is really stuck on there and I started rounding the corners so I thought I would try a 4 or 8 point socket...but can't seem to find one.

Does a L3800 have this same setup? I don't remember reading about it in my manual.
