Sump plugs

Good afternoon, gents

It's oil change time for my 7-45 but I am having difficulty getting the sump plug out of the crank case.

The plug is a 3/4" AF square-head affair - the same as the fill and drains on the gearbox and the filler on the steering box.

Its on really tight and 3/4 open end spanners wont work as they will only round-off the head.

Can anyone tell me whether there was originally a specific square socket or spanner for this job or if there is a good modern tool available

Thanks
