Default Quick question about stuck coolant drain plug

I finally decided to start on changin my head gasket. My mom has been afraid i cant do it and I thought so too. But i started along, everything going good until step 2. For some reason my drain plug on the radiator is stuck. So much for I know what Im doing.

I had it off a few weeks ago when i flushed the coolant and there was no problem. Now i am afraid of breaking it because it is only plastic. Any suggestions on how to get it off? I cant start the car cuz i already drained the oil.

take a mokey wrench to it. If it is stuck its stuck.

you could always just disconnect the lower hose as well, should have the same effect
