I wanted to do the same thing on the SDL. However, due to the slighly recessed position of the strainer, nothing but the actual socket would do the job.
The size is 46mm. A 1 13/16 socket will also work fine. The SDL had clearance problems and a socket that large (with 3/4 drive) would probably be too long for it.
I understand that the proper tool is a special, short, 46 mm socket with a 1/2" drive.
A wrench that large may also not be suitable due to limited room to swing it.
Good luck. If you do get it out via an alternate method, please advise.
