When you replace the plugs - put a thin film of Permatex anti-seize compound
on the threads. You will thank yourself the next time you change plugs!!
(a MUST on aluminum headed motors) Just remember that if you are using a
torque wrench to tighten the plugs, you'll need to set the torque value a
few ponds lower than normal since the threads are lubricated instead of dry.

George,
If you have an air impact, that will work. Providing the lugs on
the plug are
not rounded off. I have used my 1/2 drive Mac impact to remove
stubborn plugs
many times without incident.
