ah the wonderful #3 plug. Ok the best way i have found to do this is.

1. After trying to get it out for about 45 min. Step back and drink a beer or 2. 2. Take a short extension with a swivel head and get in there and slowly back it out. I have broken 2 of them off before trying to change them.
3. You must go at it from the side at a very wierd angle.not much room to work.
4. After victory of changing the plug. Drink 2 more beers.

hahahah its not that bad man i wish i would have taken a video of when i did mine. i have it down to an art now. The best way to do it is go get a swivel adapter for your socket. and it should go in there no problem. and dont use a long extension use a short one.
