I use a short version of the wrench and a dead blow hammer if needed, make sure you are loosening the plug not tightening it. It is easy to turn the wrong way working upside down like that. Then get a couple three new plug gaskets and replace it every other time. The are compressible and after a couple uses, get are impossible to get lose easily. I had a Mitsi Galant and the dealer actually taped one to the filter box as they had the bottom of an oil pan actually tear out on one car. Would be hard to tear the cast crankcase, but easy to strip the threads Max.
