I'm trying to change the oil in the gearbox of my old VW beetle. The drain plug will not turn. Anyone have ideas?

Now that takes me back. I believe it was a 17-mm allen-hex drain plug. The plug (at least on the few I worked on) where steel. They can take some persuading. My brother used to slip a 2 foot piece of pipe over the allen key to get more leverage.
