Hi,

I wanted to change the automatic transmission fluid in my 98 accord 6
cylinder. I felt the process pretty straight forward, drain with the
drain plug open, fill through the ATF filler bold (6 cylinder models).
The problem started when I tried to unscrew the ATF drain plug. This
plug is soo tight that it refuses to budge at all. Did anyone have any
problems removing this bolt ? I assume that the bolt is unscrewed
anti-clockwise. I am feeling to believe that the bolt unscrews in
clockwise motion.. is this a true assumption.. ?

Since the ratchet is directly used to loosen the bolt, after a little
struggle, the bolt head gave in and now the bolt head is deformed.. so
disappointing to see that a simple ATF oil change can be so hard..

Any thoughts.. ?
