It depends on the materials concerned and whether its stuck due to over tightening or residue. Heat often helps as the hole expands outwards but won't help if the plug material expands more than the hole material. Alternate heat and cold can often break any residue due to the expanding and contracting process. Lubricants such as WD40 can help but don't use them anywhere near plastics. Alcohol can also sometimes help (meths or IPA, not drinkable stuff).
It might help if you posted a bit more detail about the structure of the plug and hole.

Where is engine block drain plug on 1997 Chevy astro van?
on v-6 the oil filter is the drain Dude . . . the oil pan drain plug is near the oil filter on the passenger side very close to the transmission bell housing. Removing the oil filter will drain some of the oil, sure, but if you want to empty the crankcase you will need to pull the drain plug. Check your manual for the correct torque to use when replacing the plug and don't forget to use a new gasket. There is no drain plug for the transmission pan so this is kind of hard to screw up. Just check your fluid levels after draining the oil if you're concerned you might have emptied the wrong thing. As always, I am not a mechanic and your mileage may vary. .
What is the best product to flush engine sludge from an engine?
Flushing sludge from your engine is not a very smart thing to do. Almost every automotive technician will agree with that. Flushing out an engine causes all the sludge to drain down into the oil pan. Which in turn tends to plug up the oil pick up and causes engine damage.

Can you use jb weld on freeze plug leak?
Sounds like a real bad idea. A leaking freeze plug is usually a sign of a very neglected cooling system. You need to replace the leaking plug with a new one. Unfortunately there is probably corrosion throughout the whole cooling system. You will probably have other leaks soon.
How do you change the transmission fluid gear oil for a manual transmission on a 2000 Echo?
I have changed the manual transmission fluid in my Echo several times (should be done at 30,000 mile intervals), and it is actually fairly easy to do. The drain plug is the one on the bottom of the transaxle box along the bottom edge, facing the driver's side front wheel. It and the fill plug (see below) are bigger than all the other bolts on the transaxle so they're easy to spot. Just unscrew this with a socket (24 mm) and let the old fluid drain out. You may have to purchase this socket as 24 mm is quite large. Wrenches will likely not work because of the tight space the drain bolt sits in. Oil may shoot out initially with some force so be ready to act fast. Once drained, put the plug back in making sure the aluminum seal is in place, and tighten down firmly. Replace aluminum seals as necessary (if not corroded or only corroded on the outer edge, you can use again after cleaning). The fill plug is up towards the front of the car on the transaxle body. You should be able to see the drain plug from above the engine - from above, it is beneath the air filter and to the left and will be at about the level of your shins. I usually run a small rubber hose from the top of the engine down to this whole and then I pour in the differential fluid (75W 90) into the hose so I don't have to try to fight gravity from below. Buy what your manual indicates (either GL4 or GL5). For expediency's sake, the hose can be rather large (perhaps up to 1/2" or 1 cm) as the fill hole is wide. 75w90 oil travels very slowly through tubes, so be patient and use lots of hand pressure when squeezing the bottle. The manual says it takes 2 Quarts, or 1.9 liters. If you use 2 quarts, it may not be enough to "spill" according to the typical "fill and spill" method but rest assured, there's enough in there to do the job if you don't spill any. I usually use synthetic differential oil that you can buy at Advance Auto or Auto Zone. Once it's all in, just put the fill plug back in with the aluminum seal and tighten. As far as I know, the gearbox has no transmission fluid, so it does not need replacing. But, the manual does say something about a type of oil within the gearbox, a mechanic has to remove part of the gearbox to replace this, as there is no sump to drain the oil.
