What are the settings that I should use for torque wrench?
I am using the Tekton 24330 torque wrench, but I also can not get enough ground clearance to make use of the torque wrench (wrench is too tall to position it to loosen the plug).
Is there any way of getting it off? Anyone located in Burlingame or the Bay Area to help out a fellow 1-er?

The drain plug torque is 18ft/lbs that should be easily removed with a 3/8" drive ratchet. I hope you didn't tighten it by accident.
