[T2] Removing slotted Oil Pressure Relief Plug

[Richard F Coombs]

My solution for this was to take an inexpensive gasket scraper that I bought off a table of Chinese tools at the Syracuse Nationals, grind the end flat, & then shape the corners in a "cut & try" fashion until I had an exact fit with the subtle (concave) curve of the slot. The square shaft of the scraper will accept a wrench for a little extra leverage, if necessary. The scraper (pre-grinding) looks like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=gasket+scraper

I ground down the back of a brad hammer head to fit the slot, using a vice grip on the square head.  Any 1/8" X .5 to .75 " wide bar stock could be ground to fit and then held with a vice grip.
