If you hold the drain to one side you can use a thin screwdriver to loosen
the clamp.
The hardest part is holding it to reinstall the drain.
I pulled both and put new o rings in last year.

Can't be for sure but a small box wrench is what I used to loosen the clamp.
It's been about 20 or more years since I replaced mine. It is close but you
can work through the opening in the wing. On my A35 anyway.

It sure is easy to imagine lacquer thinner damage....lacquer thinner
will dissolve about everything near it I use it to clean up the
comutator segments and the tooth brush I've had several cases of
gear inoperability the majority have been motor related so I watch
the second hand on my old dial clock on each and every cycle and now
I'm rebuilding a damaged 260 HP Maule in an attempt to get some of the
Bonanza utility without the gear issues....we'll see Murray Randall
