Cal,
One option is to let your favorite mechanic do it. If you want to do it
yourself, visit a plumbing shop and buy a section of pipe that is about
three feet long. The pipe should be slighly bigger than the handle of your
socket wrench. This should allow you to use more pressure. Most mechanics
keep a section of pipe in their tool box. A torque wrench might also help
you get the plug out.
