KT:
Have u formerly removed the plug yourself at your own hand???

If not then perhaps some previous mechanic used locktite on the threads. Loctite is often used as a make shift sealer. And it does an excellent job it. If the pipe wrench won;t budge it then look closely for any signs of a sealer around the threads, blue or red.

IF loctite has been used then it mite be necessary to heat the plug wich a torch to melt the loctite. Howeerver since i am not familiar with this particular set up the torch may or maynot be advisable.
