Default What size Torx?

Does anyone know what size Torx is required for the primary case drain plug on a 2004 Electra Glide? My #30 fits but it feels a little loose. Maybe a #31 or #32?

Try the right size Allen (hex) drive.

T40 Torx from what I can find doing a google search on the 04 EG. I don't know if this is correct info.

Like Dave says, it's an allen bit not a torx.

I got it(220, 221 whatever it takes). I tried an allen wrench but it didn't fit correct either. I hate to say this but I need to put my "reading glasses" on and try again. Might be a 5/16 allen wrench.
