yeah...maybe 1/16" at most proud of the case.  Would have loved to be able to clamp the outside and turn.

you can still try, make a small notch enough so that you can try and move it some, it's worth a shot imo

Here's something else to try:

1. Using a hammer with a flat face, tap the hex plug firmly to push material back into the hole.

2. Make sure the hole is cleaned out all the way to the bottom (no mud, crud, etc.).

3. Drive a hex bit socket into the hole until it bottoms out.

4. Turn evenly and slowly - a "T" handle wrench works well for this.

Don't be afraid to notch the plug with an angle grinder, enough to drive it out with a chisel.  Heat from an LP bottle may help as well.

Using a punch is very effective.  With a pointed punch you can hammer it in a bit, then turn it a little sideways and hit it with a hammer to get the plug to turn.

I should also mention I'm trying to do all of this without removing the ungodly heavy Full Traction skid plate.

The easy out may be my best choice for this reason alone.

Picked up a 3/8" breaker bar at Harbor Freight...just cause I didn't have one....as well as a extractor kit.

Then ran by O'Reilly's anyway and picked up a #7 extractor just in case I needed a bigger one.

Then the Jeep dealership was right up the road from there....picked up two filler plugs (just in case)..$5 for both!

You could add some anti-sieze to it as well.  The plug doesn't need to be that tight though.  just enough not to leak.  I never check the torque on mine since I'm using a large adj, jaw wrench.
