Default 97 civic mt fill bolt

I can’t for the life of me get the 17mm fill bolt to budge. I keep reading people say to put a breaker bar on it but I can’t fit my socket+bar on it in there. I haven’t drained it yet but is it fine to fill through the speed sensor hole and hold back 100ml or so from the 2L I got?

Do you have a 17MM box wrench? You can use two wrenches to gain leverage.

See this video.

Yes you can use the vss hole to fill but be careful of debris that accumulates around it and don't over torque the bolt.
