didn't have much luck getting that fuckin' plug out, had the wrench on there as tight as possible but IT WOULD NOT come off! Stripped the bolt a little and now i have to go pay extra money to go get it done, was there something i was doing wrong or something???

lol. use a socket next time.

think about it. A socket holds 6 sides at a time, a crescent wrench kinda wrongly holds two at a time. If you get the right size socket, you should be able to bang it on the bolt and get it free. Maybe squirt a little WD-40 on it.

yah the socket wrench will have to wait cuz i couldn't find the right size, but it's like the bolt has a rubber coating on it that makes it slip

i dont want to sound like a smartass but if you cant change your own oil, I wouldn't recommend installing cams yourself.
