Sounds like you got lucky, Sujit.  The plugs in my J-types were way too
tight for that sort of thing.  I made up a lever over a foot long and it was
still hard to break them loose even with that much leverage.

They're only supposed to be torqued to 16 ftlb (which is still a lot for
that flimsy little snap ring plier IMO); but mine seemed a lot tighter than
that.
