They are usually stiff, are you using the correct socket on a ratchet?

I think in this case Ducato may be preceded with an F...... or B..... as well.Slightly off-topic, but "Ducato" means a Dukedom or Duchy (in Italian). Except in Italy, not a lot of people know that, so you bunch can show off...like me.
Thanks, though.

As a very last ditch attempt take the sump pan off, then grip the plug in a vice and twist the pan..

Eat more Weetabix Martin... If that doesn't work send Lynn under it with a hammer and chisel...:Cool:

unfortunaely jim that doesnt usually work.
the fiat sump bung 'shoulder' is only around 1/8" thick and relatively soft metal .
molegrips/vice etc will just slip off and chew the bung shoulder to bits.....i know, you should see mine. oh:
i undid mine, eventually, with the CORRECT hex key, a lot dont fit tightly and will damage the hex, and a 2ft breaker bar.

Hi.
The last resort would be to buy a new drain plug, then weld a allen key or long bar to the old drain plug, if that doesn’t shift it I’d be very surprised. Refit new drain plug

I guess it depends on the plug.. someone had butchered the key hole on mine, totally round, mole grips just slipped off.. the vice was a last resort and it worked..
go back and read my post olley, 1/8" shoulder and very soft metal.:Sad:Bl**dy mole grips, small stillys or footprints is what you want.

if all the above fail you could do what i had to do with my Transit.
The plug was all rounded off thanks to previous owners so i tack welded a bit of angle onto the plug and off it came.
It must be said this is probably known as a last ditch method though lol
