push/tap/hammer the key steel into the 10mm square drive fill plug. Then you can put a spanner/shifter/(even a socket if you have an appropriately sized 12 point socket) and undo it - Key steel is just chosen because it's stronger and has sharper corners than 10mm square bar.

I used fill plugs from something else, can't remember from what, but had a spanner end instead of the square hole. I remember having some hex head type as well, which were better than square
