There is hardly any space there.

I searched the forums and see people have recommended using metric hex wrench connection.

Any other alternate tools that you suggest? I tried popping the hex bit off from my regular socket and I can't do that. Did anyone try that? If so any inputs on it. Please note I am a DIY and dont have too many tools/setup at home.

Thanks in advance

no worries, I believe our discussion has concluded mostly anyway.

I believe this will do what you need to do.

I wouldn't recommend this to the non professional mechanic, but I tend to use impact wrenches when removing some drain plugs that fight me. When I changed my 50i oil, the last person to tighten the drain plug must not have understand there is such a thing as 'over-torqued'. I had to use my 3/8th electric to get it loose, couldn't get it to budge by hand in the space I had with the tools I had. I put it back by hand, but did not go crazy tight
