This is as perplexing as removing a drain plug on a pallet.

How do you drain a pallet?

Put it in a shed with a wooden floor and let 'them' remove the plug.

have you tried clamping a vise tightly to it?.(put it on a floor jack) once clamped on, you should be able to turn the vise to loosen the nut, it has a much higher clamping force than what you have previously tried. if you know someone in your fire department, they may be able to get that loose with the "jaws of life", if it has clamping capability..

:applause: Since the rescue service will be there anyway from trying the first suggestion....:laughing:

I need to say, that keeping bad oil, possibly with metal flakes in it, is not good at all for the transmission, that small amount on the bottom of the pan that you can't pump out will get stirred up!..
