The WIS says that you have to get under the car and remover the under tray.  And some guys online have had the drain tap break.  So I chickened out!! :D

Here's my special tool...

A liberal application of WD40 makes a huge difference to the willingness of the plastic drain to rotate, and no removal of the undertray is necessary on the 9-5 - I just had a look to double check

Ah!  There's a surprise.  Something wrong in WIS? :o

Although I think that I may be mixing it up with the 9-3.  I've been playing with both recently...

I'll check later.
