you could try banging on a 12mm socket, failing that stilsons should shift it

If you're planning on changing the atf you need to remove both sump pans from the bottom of the gearbox.
Even this will only remove around half the atf from the system.
The plug you're struggling with is the filler/level plug and removing it now means less oil spilling down your sleeve when you take the back sump off but can stay in place till you take the sump off and can see to get it out.

Correct socket/spanner size is 13mm. Best to use a hexagon socket, (rather than bi-hexagon type).
