whats the best way to get the gearbox filler bolt off?
its that dam square shape bolt and is 16mm or so

the car isnt a runner so i cant warm it up.
ive had vise grips on it and with all my force and pushing against the K frame it wont budge, hammer n spanner = no luck

not enough room to get a long bar on it for leverage

need to get it off as there is no fluid in the box from when it was out

any tips ideas would be great

it may have lock tight on it as you probably are aware do you have access to a small propane torch to heat it up? or a stilsens (plumbers) wrench a 2-3 inch one would make it much easier as they are heavy. also if you can jack the car up onto stands you should have enough room for a lever bar about 1-2 foot long.
