Question Changing Rear diff oil

The sump plug on my rear diff is totally welded shut, nothin will budge it. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it off?

Cheers, Paul

Jack up car...then use a long breaker bar to break seal...to do this you may need to use the cars weight to help by slowly lowering the car onto the free end of the bar so that it undoes the plug....
