xAssuming you don't have a Russian car with opposite threads, then
xyou turn counterclockwise. I would get some professional
xhelp here, you may not have located the draing plug and
xactually be trying to loosen something else.

 This reminds me of the first time my cousin did an oil change on his
car. He crawled under, removed a bolt, drained the fluid, replaced the
bolt, then carefully poured in 5 quarts of oil. Didn't bother to
check the dip stick, just drove off. Didn't get too far till me found
out that he'd drained the 4-speed trans and dumped an extra 5 quarts
into the engine.:( MORAL: As Craig said don't be ashamed to get some
*in person* help the first time.
