I've seen people complaining that they can't get the oil drain hose to turn loose of the fan housing when they go to change the oil on a 702 / 708 engine. To tell you the truth, even with a full set of tools I sometimes have trouble. So I sawed off a 1" length of 7/16 dia steel rod and made this plug. It still sticks in place, but the T-handle makes it so much easier to break free.

There's nothing to hold it in place, so I simply ran a lasso over to the air intake grille. Issue solved.

Hope this helps.
