Holiday mechanic update:
Plug #3 has been removed! It took some ingenuity, including a torch…
He was able to slide down the rubber boot on steering column. Gave him just enough room to get the 5/8 plug socket that has a 3/4 inch nut setup on the end, but not enough room to get the universal into the plug socket.
Took the torch, heated a 3/4 inch box end wrench, bent at 90 degrees, and was able to slip it over the 3/4 nut on the end of the plug socket. Broke the plug loose with the 3/4 inch wrench the bent, using an extension on the other end as a cheater.
Also had to bend the 5/8 to remove the plug the rest of the way.

He is now taking a break (and warming up in the house) before he heads back out to the shop to install the new plug.

plug #3 and the newly bent wrenches…
