Yea it was the guys that did the swap I didn't do the swap myself. Never done one and I don't have the proper tools
Anyway I got it...just needed more pressure.

Re: Ok this sucks (Blazin Civic)
NO SOCKETS.... get the correct sized BOX end wrench, a length of pipe that fits over the wrench and try that.
If it ends up getting stripped out. - you can replace the oil pan (extreme) or you can get a tap and die set and attempt to repair the threads, or you can purchase a new oil drains plug that has larger diameter threads and tap your oil pan to fit the new drain plug.
BTW - take the oil pan off of the car when using a tap and die.

I've always had luck using my teeth. Just get a mouth full of that sucker, bite down hard, and twist. You'll never look back on all those expensive, bulky sockets and wrenches.
