Just to add two cents... it was easier to use a racheting wrech (like a gear wrench) than a socket and rachet on the fill bolt. The bolt is relatively soft and easy to round... the lateral force put on the bolt by the rachet (as opposed to just rotational force) actually caused the socket to move and damage the bolt. I used one of my Gear Wrench 17mms on it and it came off with NO problems.
