Here is one answer

" I always try as much as I can before resorting to a bigger tool"
Me Too.

I already had my car up on ramps.... flushing the fuel tank.... so when I saw this post I figured I would go out and check my plugs...
Very Tight fill plug.... drain plug just right...

So I got the Mercedes tool with the 14 mm socket and the curved handle... ( very thin handle )... and hit it with a 3 foot 2x4.... then I used a 6 lb sledge hammer in a slide hammer manner... with the handle out front... but for both there was too much give in the tool...
So this is what I came up with... and it worked like a charm....
I took the wrench and placed it pointing down and hooked a comealong to the stock jack placed in the jack hole...
