Some mention removing the sump? This is the gearbox drain plug not the engine oil plug so not sure if I'm missing something, however someone did mention removing the gearbox  . |
As Trikey says you could use a screwdriver to get behind the plug as you turn it. I have a set of thin straight jawed mole wrenches and a small pair of those could grip the plug and then you can turn and pull evenly at the same time which might help.
