Am I the only one stubborn enough to actually undo the drain plug thing?

I ended up using a tube spanner wired to another tube spanner with a breaker bar through the second tube spanner for leverage. When it finally undid, I smashed my fingers on something and then petrol poured out on me. Got the #$&%er out though :).

i would have spent probably 3hrs in total trying to get that bugger out...even if i have to buy it new...its not really worth the 3hrs i spent trying to get the broken one out...i shoulda just cut it in the first place...i am not even sure what i need it for...i am just gonna stick a straight bolt in the bottom of the tank and then if i need to drain the tank...i'll remove the tank and tip it out the EASY way...through the same hole i got the fuel in by :)
