I'm wondering, what type of wrench do people use on the 24mm drain plug? There seems to be no clearance at all to get in there with a normal socket and torque wrench. A combination or box wrench could work, but then there's no way to torque it when it goes back on. The only thing I can figure is a flare nut crowfoot wrench which isn't easy to find. 6pt sockets in this size are also hard to find.
 
I guess there may be minor differences between 2Gs. I don't see any way to get in there with a socket wrench and socket, unless the socket is super shallow and maybe a flex-head ratchet.
 
24mm closed box wrench.

No need to use a torque wrench, it's like an oil drain plug. Just nice and snug is fine. Or use the "two finger" rule
