they sell the kits at Ace Hardware, did you do it with the heads still on straight up without having to take off the valve cover and mess with other stuff?

i didnt remove anything to do it. i stuck the thing into the spark plug hole, expanded it, and unscrewed it. it fixed the cross threading problem and the plug went in. i know there were a couple of threads gone but its been going strong for 30,000 miles.
