Monkey wrench.

EX pans are aluminum, and the LX/DX's are steel (if memory serves me right).

Are you trying to run a steel one on your car? If so, then I believe it does. However, I wouldn't run a steel one unless you absolutely desire one.

If head is stripped, just get a nut welded on plug to try removing.
