If its just a standard 1/8" pipe thread plug and you want to use a socket you need an 8 point socket of the appropriate size. If you don't like the square head replace it with your choice of allen, hex or slotted plugs.

Be carefull with the plug size, they changed mid-way through '95 like a lot of things. The early ones used a 1/8" pipe thread, then they went to the straight thread o-ring, which is what the 3/16" allen plug is.
You don't want to strip your housing trying to install the wrong style of thread if you go with a new plug.

I think ill just leave the plug since i will be building a tool that will fit it anyway. Its not going to be worth the hassle of switching it after ive grinded down a tool for it.
