I'm not Lamont but he's my hero. :thumbup:

I used a small tube (12" long "/-) on the Allen wrench as a cheater bar to loosen them.

And always remember, once you put the cheater bar on and are updside down under the bike; righty tighty, lefty loosey!

I changed the oil on a friends Spyder the other day and it was it's first oil change and it was really tight too. I had to use a 3/8" drive long handle ratchet with a socket allen head. It might be good to let it warm up a bit too to help it break free.

I had the same problem - both of the oil plugs were WAY tight. You can use a vise grip to add more leverage to the allen key -
