Never in my life have I had so much trouble loosening an oil drain pan plug, mine is 13mm, and is tighter then any plug I have ever had to remove.
Also what the hell were they thinking putting the transmission pan so close?
I cannot even get a socket on it because there is not enough room, so wrenches are my only hope.
Sucks though because most 13mm wrenches are small.
I tried one, used something to give it leverage, and the wrench broke, lol
I am worried the plug is going to strip if I cannot figure something out, I may even have to take it to a shop and let them put it on a lift to do it, that way they can get more leverage.

Unless somebody has an idea of how I can get a 13mm 6pt socket on it, and be able to turn it..
I'm going to have to order a replacement plug and washer just to be on the safe side once it is removed.

I wonder if this would work?

Geez what the heck did they do, air wrench the darn thing on?
Do you have any ramps there?
I really can't see what you are facing there access wise, but in my arsenal of tools I have a long handle extendable ratchet, which generally allows for tight stuff to get loosen quick.
As long as the flex socket can be on straight & tight, you then have a good chance of breaking it free.
Also warm pan will be best, I wish I could come over & help...

Feels like they impacted it n like morons, I made sure I was turning it lefty loosey, and I had the car up on jackstands, I could have raised it a little more, but with my non level driveway I was not trying to push it to much..
For a bolt that should be only 22 ft lb'* it should have budged a bit.
The room from the head of the bolt to the transmission pan is maybe 2"-3" if that, so I can fit a socket on it, but not if it is attached to a socket wrench..
I am guessing the only chance I have of getting a socket on there is with a flex head socket wrench, and flexible socket.
Since I broke the only 6pt 13mm wrench I have, I have to find another one on Amazon or somewhere, and look for a small pip that will fit over it for a little more leverage, of course so far the only 13mm 6pt wrench I can find come in a whole Craftsman set..
If I cannot figure out something I'll have to pay a shop, and money is getting less abundant...
If I round off the bolt I am not sure how I'll get it out considering how tight it is..


Also I think I went overboard with my Aluminum/Steel 3 Ton floor jack, it is a heavy monster, lol
Here is a video of a guy un-boxing the same jack.

Going to get this and see how it works, I need to find a small pole to put on it in case I need leverage.

I think I'll also get this just in case I have enough room to make it work.

And I am sure I'll need this.

I would just buy one bolt from RockAuto, but shipped it is 5.00 total, for 15.00 I get 5 of them, so if I want I can replace it every time I change the oil..

Nice Jack, although you think they could have assembled the screws with locktitie?
Well I hope you find a new socket, and a way to get that super tight drain plug removed.
Even tho I can't make it over, I could cheer you up by sending some help your way!

Even though Shelly works construction, she wants to learn more about cars...

Snap On makes extra long 13, 15, and 18mm 6 point wrenches.....

Ya that flex head 13mm wrench along with 6 point flex socket looks good!
IDK I guess my screen did not refresh & missed post #5.
I hope you get that sucker loose! Good to have new drain plug ready too!

I tried looking for an extra long 13mm on Amazon but could not find it Gus, if what I got fails I'll look again, all I seen available as single wrenches were 12pt ones.

Art, yeah I am hoping that wrench with flex point socket will do the trick, I just hope I did not round the head too much, I stopped as soon as I felt it slip, but as tight as it is who knows how it will go.
I did order a pack of new plugs, I'll have 5 for 15.00, so I'll just replace the plug every time I drain the oil, as I could not find the gaskets for them, I suppose I could have went to a hardware store...

If you really want leverage, Lisle makes a belt tensioner tool that comes with an assortment of sockets.....



Soft Ride, we had a girl come into the shop with a problem, looking like that......SM owed me one, and I took care of her problem....
