Stu,

These sump plugs need a special tool don't they?

If so is it not so much that it is stuck too tight but that the plug is too damaged to apply a decent torque.

The last one I had here suffered damage because mole grips and chisels had been used in the past ant there was almost nothing to grip for removal.

Treated it to a new plug after I got the old one out.

David
