Not amazingly hard. Depends on access really. A hook type tool will help. Just make a hole in it and pull it out. Emery the edges on the engine to get them as clean as poss. Then put some "blue" on the new plug. Get a socket thats EXACTLY the same size and hit that to GENTLY drive it into the block.
