Yes; it's not really a bracket, but I wasn't sure what to call it exactly. "Tubular support bar" sounds about right.

I was using a torque wrench, not set to any torque level, with an 8mm hex bit socket; OP stated 8mm, and I couldn't find any service guides online. It seemed to fit pretty snug in the drain plug (which I didn't turn but just put it in to test) but I'll buy a 9mm just to see if that helps. Yes, using a torque wrench to loosen something is a bit weird, but it's the best tool I had for leverage.
