Any of you guys know how I can loosen a 2" plug which has been attached to a waste pipe for a very long time??
I dont have much room to work in maybe 3".
I have tried Pb blaster to no avail. I try to unloosen it and it does not budge.
Appreciate all help.

well,

is it brass,iron,lead, wood, copper, or is it plastic pipe?

pry it loose

with a cold chisle and get a lead fit all plug to put back.

Sometimes those buggers just won't come out.

I've heated them out but with so little space, I would,nt try it.

It is metal male plug.

I am looking to take out that plug and set up a stack for my washing machine.

Then dont forget its original purpose ...

was a cleanout and allow provision for that when you connect your drain and vent.

in some instances i will heat a wrench put it to the threaded plug let it be for a while, get a hammer and tap the wrench a few good rapps and set up a Rhythm....leave it alone some more and give the wrench a good rapp with a heavy maul to Crack the threads...

if you take a gizmo known as an awl, you can hassle with pin point precision removal of any oxidation around the plug first....add some more wd-40 or liguid fire first,...like Scott said sometine dey just don wanna come out,...so you going to have to"Persuade" them with a sledge hammer or more work.
