Sometimes a wrench works better than a socket, if you can keep it very flat on the plug. Just curious; did you use a new gasket/washer and what did you torque it too? Ron
The bolt I could not get off (notice the past tense:rocker

was the original. I had taken it off once before, and I am pretty sure I torqued it to the specs I think 26 or 36lbs??
When I went to the dealer to get new washers, I tried to pick up spare bolts, for front and rear and transfer, figuring I'd need em at some point. They only had one in stock.
so I took it up to the shop by my house and said please, and they got if off for me. Of course I went home, went to change the oil, only to find out the drain plug it torqued to tight to.... sob
I wonder if my torque wrench is junk (it's the one from tirerack) or what. I don't think I would have torqued these bolts this tight.
