    You're undoing the right bolt, yes?

    LOL

    but anyway - you realise the sump bolt screws in upwards so if your facing down at the sump you will need to turn it clockwise.

    Well it seems you have tried everything...

    My first suggestion would be...are you going the right way?

    You say you are...

    As has been suggested...WD40, etc...

    Also the heat...get a hairdryer and really heat up the ali around the bolt...

    I'm going to take a punt here and say someone in the past has already partly stripped it and it's now held in with Loctite or similar...

    Good luck...

    Go easy with the hammer, the drain plug screws into Aluminium.

    And its anti-clockwise when viewed at the bolt head (looking up from underneath)



    Is that the plug? (the one incorrectly called oil filter mounting bolt?)

    in all seriousness

    this stuff



    loctite freeze and release spray. Freeze it for about 10 seconds, give it a crack to shock the bolt and it should come right out.
