Could've taken a couple of days to shake itself loose. Seems more likely than someone bringing the correct wrench & then crawling under a bike in a public place, then having to get cleaned up because they got oil all over their hands. :??:
Yep.A friend of mine done the exact same thing,except his oil plug came out when he was riding causing him to crash.Consider yourself lucky.
