In this case, no. Wheel lugs are 17 mm, the drain plugs are 14 mm. I didn’t
buy the drain plug specifically for this job. It’s part of a kit of various
drain plug sockets that I’ve had for several years now. I like these
because they allow for the use of a ratchet and/or breaker bar a little
more easily.

Not physically possible given the space I have to work with. Believe me, if
that had been an option, that’s what I would have done.

MercedesDieselGuy says:

More likely I’ll sell it.

Just pointing this out, maybe you shod have put the car off the driveway in
a parking spot so you can move other vehicles behind it out.

Michael Sackstein says:

Is this going in the ’83 also or are you just keeping it as a spare?

MercedesDieselGuy says:

Getting there. Still pulling apart the interior. Want to grab the wiper
linkage and motor, steering gearbox, some of the suspension, etc.

Michael Sackstein says:

So are you done with the parts car yet?

Are your wheel lug studs the same size as the rear diff drain and fill
plug. Some vehicles can use a lug nut or stud as a tool to remove drain
plugs, just wondering? So sometimes, no need to buy a special tool.
