Default oil changing problem!!

Hey, i went to go change my oil on my 02 warrior tha other day and the damn drain bolt wont come out no matter what i do, and i almost broke my ratchet trying to get it out. Maybe it has a reverse thread or its screwed in too tight, idk... its the first time changing my oil on my own instead of the dealer doin it to save $$ but those dumba$$es always screw the bolts in so tight its impossible for a human to get it out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]...please help me out---thanks

The threads arent reversed, they are normal.

Mine stripped and I had to hammer a standard socket onto it..

"Tap" on the drain bolt
Don't use an impact
Try using a propane torch to heat the area surrounding area...remember the rules about flames
