Thanks for all of the replies.  I've had to be away for Thanksgiving so I haven't tried to change the oil again, but I think I'm going to put the bike up on blocks and have a friend hold it while I tug on it with the longest 14mm box end wrench I can find (and lengthen it with a pipe if need be).

I would let you know how it goes, but the oil doesn't need to be changed quite yet.  I was just going to do it while I was changing the oil in my truck and doing other work on the bike.

Get one with a magnet in it. & order some washers at the same time. Available online

Then dive right in. Petroleum products really arent all that healthy, but if you equate being slathered in it with manliness, then by all means, be a man & get nasty. I can get filthy to the elbow on a thumb nails worth of grease. I didnt used to mind it, but now, after years of exposure to heavy metals & pesticides & industrial chemicals, not the least of which was pipe dope on drilling rigs, I am disabled & I recommend to young people that they avoid as much exposure as possible. I recommend the same to you & I hope you listen.
