The plugs have always been hard for me to remove, but for some reason, this time it's especially tough to get out. I don't want to strip it out trying too hard with an Allen wrench. How have you guys done it? Thanks in advance for any help. "When I'm in a slump, I comfort myself by saying if I believe in dinosaurs, then somewhere, they must be believing in me.
