X2 on this. I fought with my fill plug the first time I did the service. I got to thinking, "Is there anything else I can use that has a 1/2" square drive?" After a few beers, I remembered the serpentine belt tensioner tool. I rented one from where I work (O'Reillys) and had the plug out within minutes.
Forget WD-40. I've mentioned it before on this board about my new go-to penetrant in a can. https://seafoamsales.com/deep-creep/ I used to use PB Blaster, but this stuff makes the PB look like water.

x2 on deep creep. Or at least use PB Blaster. WD-40 is good for greasing a squeaky door hinge, that's about it.

True. It isn't cheap. After I broke the first bolt on the steering pump bracket while doing head gaskets, I sprayed nearly every bolt after that (at least every bolt that didn't come out with less than 5lb/ft of force). Same thing on my lift kit. If the bolt wouldn't come out very easily, I sprayed them. I would rather spend $10 on another can than having to extract a broken bolt and possibly tap new threads.
