Make sure that you know exactly what you are dealing with before you go any farther.

Oh, there is definitely no heater already there... I took a peek in and was rewarded with the sight of a 3/4" hex fitting... I'm dreading having to deal with it. Those stick-on deals are sounding better every minute.
If I do go after it, I need to drain the coolant, right? I've got PB penetrant, a torch, a pneumatic impact wrench (though that may not be enough, based on what I've seen..), and the hex socket. Oh, and some whiskey for afterwards... Scary plug. Its just a stupid plug, why does it have to be such a pain?
peace,
