As alluded to before it most likely will be very tight and you will need some serious tools to remove the plug.

I've heard horror stories of breaking the block during an attempt to remove the plug, though I've never actually seen it. Good luck.
Hmmmmm that makes me not want to do this anymore haha.. Or maybe just do the ones that go between hoses... I really wanted the actual block heater though for a cleaner look rather than the hose one. That does look kinda funny doesn't it, I need to update my location I'm in California now but am thinking of Fairbanks, Alaska in two years for school and I've really always wanted one to be honest I was curious and the stealership quoted 670$! :/ But maybe that's why....
