Does anyone know how to remove extremely stuck floor sewer drain plug caps? I need to run a snake through the pipes in my basement but I can get the drain plugs off. One is white vinyl/plasticish. The other is brass, Im assuming. They both have like a 1 1/2" maybe 2" square nut on top. Ive tried lock channels, plumbers wrench and a monkey wrench with break bar and neither one budges. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Try a pipe wrench on the plastic clean out cap, sometimes I’ll let wd40 set in a brass cleanout cap, also try hitting the brass with a torch
