He'd put a liberal amount of anti seize of the plug and after shooting some PB Blaser at the edges of it, and using the square tool to release it...the end it came right out. Not too hard at all. I packed the hole with grease to hold any metal shavings that came out...good thing...lots of shavings in the grease.
He had a scope that we were able to use to look into the head...a few particles in there...used a shop vac and a reducer to mount a straw to the end of the hose to suck out any other shavings. Totally clean.
When we went to intstal the new plugs we found that the torque was jammed and not working...tossed it out and used a regular ratchet...snugged it up like others have mentioned. I'll get some pictures in a bit and post them up.
Thanks again.
