The dreaded #8 plug, improved - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Agree w Hib on this. I use a 5/8" deep with 3 U joints attached. That snakes it into the plug well. Then a 1/2" drive breaker bar. Once loosened, I can finger turn plug. Once undone, put a telescoping magnet and pull plug out.
To install, I can put plug into rubber hose to screw it in, then reverse the removal process for final torquing. BTW, I use a thin film of oil on the thread to eliminate seizing of plug.
