Unscrewing ford thermactor plugs!?

How are you suppose to take these in and out? I dont have a screw driver big enough to unscrew them. And I have a very large screw driver.

I used a bolt, found if you pull up hard while unscrewing it, the plug turns not the bolt.....I suppose if it was really stuck you could do the same trick, plus some locktite you let dry awhile....

I didnt think about the locktite. I had a peice of aluminum and tried to use it as a screw driver. These things are in tight because it would just bend the peice of metal I had. I was wanting to remove one of mine because I needed it on the other side of the head. I just went ahead and ordered some. Costs me $15 for that $3 part.[:@]
