I just went under my truck and the socket fit but not that great 1inch socket use some wd-40 and then use a adjustable wrench. I got that info from some guy on v6 f150.com he has this whole how-to on the change of the fluid. Sorry good luck.

The plug is such a shape that a crescent wrench will work just perfect. I have used it to change trans. fluid on my 97 every 15k and nary a problem.
