The concern for disaster are well documented here and even in active threads, unfortunately.

If a person is not a long-term owner, intending several years if not a decade or more of service then I tend to think differently.

I do not think there is a definative answer as to causes of the dreaded stuck plugs.

However, if one has new GP's in day one and they are going to get stuck at some point in the future, say 5 years or 10 years, then at points between those two extremes it will be easier. A person could take a plug out and redo it every Saturday, which is obviously to much, there has to be a balance point somewhere in between.

To me once a person knows they have all 6 out and new, why not invest in taking them out once every year or two?

As stated you could just wait until one is stuck and then take it to a shop and not try any extreme removal techniques.

I will try soon, so if one is stuck then you can laugh at my self-inflicted plight.
