So I have my new BCB 2 in 1 exhaust and love it. First oil change time and realize I can now longer get a socket on it due to pipes clearance. So I need a wrench to fit the stock drain plug - not 13/16". Which size do I need to go buy the fancy ratcheting wrench in?

Thanks for the help!

Do you have a set of open ended wrenches? See what size fits and get that size in the fancy wrench.

That's the problem. Don't have an open ended that fits to compare. Almost seems metric

Got a ruler? Tape measure? Calipers? Outside mic? Wife got a tape in her sewing kit?

If you don't have a wrench that fits it…I'm afraid you don't have enough tools!

Looks like the winner is 22 mm. 15/16" just a little big. Agree not enough tools;)

I just went thru a similar situation and bought a 7/8 " open end box wrench will fit the OME oil pan drain plug. .
