: My plugs are frozen. I tried torching them with a propane torch and using a cheater bar with no luck. I have been to two different mechanics and the dealer and they cant seem to get it off either. It has 198000 miles and I think it would be a good idea to change the fluid. Miraculosly the hexes are not stripped after all of these attemps. Any suggestions?

I put a car jack between the ground and the
allen wrench and jacked untill it popped. It made
a scary noise when it went but everything was fine.
