Gearbox Drain Plug

[Jamie123]

I seem to be having an amazing amount of grief of getting the gearbox drain plug undone!! I don't suppose anyone else has experienced this??

I have the right tool... but the plug doesn't seem to budge!! btw I've soaked it the ol' trusty WD40 overnight and that still doesn't seem to loosen it!! Any ideas??

btw the car's a 95 16v.

Cheers.

I know this sounds daft, tighten until it moves then undo.

or shock the socket and ratchet ( or whatever tool u got to remove it) with a hammer in the undo direction

Get a decent size breaker bar on it.
The chances are it will not of come out in its life so it will need plenty of leverage to move it.
