can't remove rear diff drain plug

My drain plug was giving me such a hard time that I was afraid of cracking it so I decided to use the fill plug to pump it out the old and pump in the new. I used this pump:

You can I believe, I have never done it but I believe I have seen it done.
The way I did it when I had a problem was to use a jack on the breaker bar. Pump it up a little bit, it will lift the vehicle just a bit, let it settle back down and do it again. Just do it slowly and be safe.
Worked for me.
Good luck.
Smart move doing the fill before the drain, so many people are stuck because they can't get the fill out after draining the Diff.

I used a Jack at end of my ratchet too I couldn’t tell it was loosening at first.
