Have you tried using a stripped bolt remover kit? They sell them at like AutoZone or Advance Autoparts. They work like a charm whenever I've had to use them.

Those won't work on our tranny/diff plugs because it's a female ended plug, not a bolt like an oil pan plug or a cap like a lug nut. You use a socket that has a piece protruding out of it that matches the shape of the indent on the plug, stick that piece in the plug and spin it to back it out.

Oh my bad, I'm new to the G35 scene, haven't looked at the trans plug yet. Would work on my old honda, thats why I suggested it.

Didn't work...spread some knowledge please!
I know this is an old thread but this is what I did yesterday because I was in the same situation I put JB weld on it with a 10mm hex socket fit as snug as you can get it. Let the JB weld set, I used the one made for steel that sets in an hour, but I waited about 2 to make sure. Then I used a floor jack to raise the car and took the little factory jack that c ok mes with the car and slowly raised it up to push the breaker bar or ratchet that is on the 10mm hex socket. Do it really slow and have patience And with a little luck that damn fill plug will start to turn and you can crack open a frosty to celebrate your victory. After I got it off I noticed it isn't just a regular 10mm hex head it's a 10mm torx hea . That probably would have made all the difference in the world if that would have been used in the first place. Live and lear . Hopefully this helps someone else out at leas . I would have tried the chisel and hammer if I had the means to lift the car up but given I only had a jack, jack stands, and elbow grease I opted for that route and it paid off luckily.
