[s2robbo]

Heat and the biggest breaker bar you can get you hands on! And make sure you undo the filler before the drain.

Put socket to the draining plug and hit it with a hammer. Doing this usually helps.

Using common sense with hitting power is allowed.

My rear diff plug is stuck solid and I haven't got the guts to get medieval on its behind :mischeif:

Tried everything but it wouldn't budge and I didn't want to break it

freeze spray worked on mine once it siezed up a second time. first time a long time back at Dialynx they ended up welding a wheel bolt onto it to get some decent leverage, eventually it let go and opened up

just remember to moly slip the drain and fill bolts when you refit them and they should be ok after that.
