Default Tranny fill plug

I'm trying to changed my transmission fluid but the fill plug is a pain in the a**. It's a 1g manual. Any help on getting the fill plug to come off?

where are you trying to fill it at? usually a wrench or socket and some elbow grease works pretty good.

Put a breaker bar on it and turn.

If you don't have a breaker bar, but you have a pipe, slide the pipe over your ratchet and you'll have more leverage.

I'll try the breaker bar and / or the pipe tomorrow if I don't get someone I work with to just throw it on a lift and do it for me.
