Default Special tool? I dont need no stinkin special tool.

Is this with stock exhaust manifolds? I have stock ones and can change all plugs without special tools. Although getting at the mentioned plug IS kinda hard, I still dont think I would justify buying another tool to get at it, just for the record.

Same here, it's a bit of a pain but can be done easily enough.
