Could someone tell me the size of the Warrior oil drain plug. Mine is rounded off and I want to get one of the tools from Sears that will grip it so I can get it out.

Thanks,
Jim,

I'm having the same problem(350 Raptor), but, today it's turned into a nightmare. I bought a new drain plug before I started wrestling the old one off. Come to find out that Yamaha redesigned it to now include wings around the 17mm nut. So, now if you round off the edges of the nut, you can tap on the wings to get it off. But, I used a Sears nut extractor on mine and just kept rounding off the nut, smaller and smaller, UNTIL IT BROKE OFF and oil went everywhere. Now, I'm stuck and haven't a clue how I'm going to get the rest of the drain plug off. Guess I'll have to strap on my 'ol Rockwell orifice protector and head on down to the local stealer and give him a huge laugh! Yikes!

Use a hammer and a small chisel or a punch. You should be able to break it loose.
