    or as a last resort if you knacker the square drive in the plug weld a socket to it had to do this to a shite ford mondeo sump plug

    And dont heat the plug, itll just expand and get tighter. Its the area around the hole that needs heat, but i dont fancy trying to heat an ally gbox.

     

    best just give it a smack as has already been said. if that fails it could be a drill and easy out job!!
