Personally I'd hit it with an Iphone, or indeed any kind of Apple product.
Probably won't loosen the plug, but sure will distroy the little b*stards easily enough !! |

After trying all the methods above here using various nut splitters and hammer/chisel (which didn't crack my sump fortunately - was doing it rather gingerly though) - I had no other option than to get a hacksaw with a metal blade and literally saw the head off. Took about 20 minutes making sure I was sawing the correct area, and not caching the sump, but it eventually gave way and with the plug being hollow, I jabbed a big star socket in it and turned it out. An old Nokia would have had it off in no time

Dead sump plug
I had exactly the same problem. Ended up having to buy a second hard sump at a cost of £60. If you force the sump plug out it can crack the sump.

I recently had problems getting a sump plug off. I managed to round it off COMPLETELY so as per advice from a friend I used stilsons which eventually worked after using a awful lot of strength & a broken rib!!!! Don't ask! Anywho sump plug off, filter off, wrong filter supplied to fit & now waiting for correct filter HOUSING & paper filter insert. Top n bottom of it all, stilsons are the way forward but obviously needing new sump bolt. Happy days, stay safe all. 😀

Amazing how many numpties seem to think sump plugs require around 500 foot pounds to prevent leakage
These are brilliant.... http://www.screwfix.com/p/irwin-bolt...FZRuGwod7GEFrw |

Metrinch are the way to go, I'm amazed they're not everywhere by now. I got a roll of ring spanners off ebay and a few key sockets and I've never rounded a nut since.
They'll even take of pre-rounded ones.
