Smile Help With Block Heater Installation

Hi,
How hard is it to install a block heater in my 1984 300SD without using a torch to heat up the threaded block plug? I don't have a touch.
A local mechanic told me He used heat and a 4' cheater pipe on a breaker bar on a customers car and gave up, He said He was afraid of breaking the block? Are these really this bad?
Thanks for any input on this.
Jim
