    Hmm, cant remember what I used, but I dont recall having any major problems, an air ratchet sounds a lil extreme though. Maybe a good breaker bar?

    i thought an air ratchet was a little much too... but using a 10" adjustable wrench with all the strength i could muster didnt budge it... then my roommate tried too with no luck and hes no stranger to the weight room.. so im not sure... i also sprayed a little WD40 on it jsut to see if that would do anything, but it didnt

    hmmm i wonder if im going after the right plug!? i dont see any other plugs down there that are on a corner

    It should be fairly obvious what plug to remove. If there is any doubt, you should d/l the shop manual online from Tone Monday's web site.

    If you buy anything, I would agree with Ruflyf. A good quality breaker bar is not very expensive and will come in handy time and time again. I would get a 1/2" drive and a socket to fit your oil pan plug (I think it's 22 mm). You'd be surprised what another 4-6" of leverage will do for getting a tough bolt out. BIG difference!
