I would say a trade size can of WD-40, a corect sized hex socket (Not the 12 sided ones) and the longest breaker bar you can find. I'd bray a smaller imperial socket onto the bolt but I'm a ****.

if it's a square stub and a ferk orf pair of stilsons and some heat wont budge it weld a bit of bar onto it and tap it as your heating the plug
if it's a hex socket make sure there's no crap in it first

mine was well stuck on a while ago too, wouldn't budge with a spanner i decided to make meself a new tool, take the appropriate sized socket, i can't remember what it is off hand. cut it down in length with an angle grinder so that the socket is only around 10mm deep that will give you enough room to get it on so you can get a long bar on it to crack it off

Simple, put the spanner on as if you were going to lift the spanner to undo the plug ( not pulling down to undo!!). Put the bottle jack under the spanner and use the jack instead of your hands. Do be careful though, make sure you are not too close in case it slips and jack SLOWLY. O.K.
