This will wick the wax into the threads and provide lubrication as you try to loosen the stubborn plug. Note: if the wax catches fire reheat a little less and try again because the wax will have burnt off and not penetrated the threads (this is unlikely unless you use and oxy acethelene setup and have the plug near its melting point + the point at which the wax cathches fire depends on the type of wax used in your particular candle) If nothing works you can always do as I did and use a oil syringe found at most parts stores to fill your trany from the drain hole (just check for the amount specified in a repair manual or somone on the board surely knows what that amount is) ... you just have to be quick to put the plug back in after the syringes hose is removed from the hole. Once that is done and you have fluid in your trany go to a good repair shop which is equiped with welders and ask them to weld a nut or short bolt onto your plug and just replace it with a new one after its been removed.
