Re: oil drain bolt

Piggyback two wrenches so you have more leverage, or get a socket & a breaker bar.

I use the handle from my floor jack as a pry bar. Don't put it on so tight next time, might strip it.

20 ft/lbs is about what a drain plug in an aluminum pan requires. Sounds like somebody used about 120 ft/lbs!
