my 23' CR-V hit 50,000 miles so I figured its time for a transmission fluid swap. the drain plug was stuck tighter than a lid on a pickle jar! i grabbed a pipe wrench to cheat on my little ratchet it got all hyped when it budged.. the tip of my cheapo wrench extension (a 60 year old kMart special from dad) twisted right off into the bolt. no biggie, though i yanked the plug out with the pipe wrench and fished the broken bits out with a screwdriver.. i wiped some funky black dust off the magnet then slapped it back in.
