i had this problem, you just need to defo make sure your turning it the right way, and get a massive guy ( i got my dad) to turn it, if this desnt work get a pipe and put it over the allen key, this will give you more turning force..

ok well if its not turning oil it up as much as you can, like someone said use a pipe to get leverage (i use a shovel normaly cause the handle fits easy) and deffinatly make sure your turning the right way! lol
