stuck tranny fill plug
I would grab it with some vice grips and then beat on those with a hammer. Make sure the vice grips are on there at the tightest setting you can possibly get or it will spin off and round off the plug.
Why they didn't make this plug like the diff plug where you can get a 3/8 rachet in it to turn it with i don't know. A square plug isn't easily wrench at all.
If you use heat and PB blaster in intervals it may also help. Its aluminum so be careful with the heat. A plain plumbers torch should suffice, anything hotter might damage the casing if your over zealous.

Not sure what brand of tools you're using, but sometimes those drop forged wrenches open up too much and just "slip off", also another hting htat i've had good luck with is impact socket, the ones that are actually just 6 sided not the 12 sided as they normally just slip on the corners.

14 mm open end fits the fill plug. Heat it up at the base of the threads. When I get a stubborn one, I have a huge crescent wrench that I use. It must be tight or it will round off the edges. Anti-sieze is a must when re-installing.
