    Oil filler plug stuck

    Uh oh! I can't get the filler plug out. It's the standard 17mm allen and it is stuuuuck. Looks like the last guy put some vice grips on it; so I tried that to. No go. At least I didn't empty it yet. Fudge. I don't have any good ideas. Might take it to a shop. It's kind a hard to get alot of torque lying on your back with the car on stands. Any ideas?
    thanks

    Oh, and another thing. Do people add LSD additive with redline 75w90? I know it says some is already in there. Will more hurt? My diff is noisy at slow speed corners.
    OK that's all

      I don't know what you are using for a wrench, but a short piece of a 17mm allen, a 17mm socket and a breaker bar should get the plug out.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Yeah, tried both but without breaker bar. I need more leverage. I've had lots of cars with 17mm allen plugs but this one gets 1st prize for stuck.
