Hello 6Pack listers:

I'd like to replace the broken engine block drain tap on my '69 TR6.  It's 
sealed but the drain handle/tap is broken.

When I apply a wrench and give it a turn I'd like some hints on how best not 
to break it off in the block.  The whole nut is intact and doesn't seem too 
be unusually corroded.  I've applied some WD-40 but am just hesitant to try 
and break it loose.  Am I being too cautious?  Not cautious enough?

Thanks for any suggestions.
