Use an inch and an one eighth preferably a ring spanner/socket.

Big adjustable spanner works for me (assume sump plug) All the other bolts holding it on are 10mm.

Hi Goon,
29mm or inch and one eighth A/F from memory. And long handle wrench.
Have you lost your knuckles yet ? Most of the skin from mine is stuck to the sharp bits under the car.
Now you know why the garages bodge it by sucking the up through the dip stick. And this leaves all the gunge behind to damage your engine
Plugs are cheap around £2 so I would change it when you get it out.
Good Luck
Fred

Try big Stillson wrench - that'll either sort it or b***er it completely.
BTW, would applying a bit of heat to the sump help then try undoing it?

stilsons, big spanner and hammers, :behindsofa: my god don't listen to these landy butcherin nasty people lol
get down halfords and buy a 29mm socket like i said and cut it down so it fits in the gap, clip on a decent size breaker bar and it'll come out no probs whatsoever, nothing broken/stripped and nuckles intact. if you can't afford one i'll post you my one as long as you promise to send it back

Hi Goon,
If you use a ring spanner, place it in a downward position (Vertical) and slide under front of car, place your foot carefully on spanner and and push towards rear of car.
This sytem works for me, it wont work with a socket though as it falls off.
Good luck

when using any of the "high force" methods such as a jack - watch out for the sump distorting. I have known this happen, which is why I prefer an air impact driver, as it imparts a sudden shock loading onto the plug rather than a slow steady pressure.

Correct
But not easy when short of space
Could try
Place spanner in position and give it a kick

Good pair of stillies, safer than a socket or ring spanner when the heads rounded and less likely to slip, forget the adjustable they only round the corners-even a good one like Bahco.
Buy the new plug & washer first.
