Hey you guys Im trying to change the front gear case oil on my 1998 Honda Fourtrax 300 and I can't figure out how to brake the plug loose? I used an 11mm socket with a ratchet but its too big and a 10mm is to small. Is there a trick to doing this or somethinG?

There's no trick to it. I can't remember what size the bolt is, but try taking a wire brush to the head of the bolt and then see if the 10mm will fit. If it acts like it will almost fit, try tapping it on with a hammer. Just don't hit it hard enough to bust the aluminum case. If that don't work, I don't know what the problem would be.

Can u use a 6-Point 11mm Socket on it ? the 12point sockets are useless

I agree, I never use a 12 point socket for anything.
