The reason I know is my mechanic friend Matt had a guy bring his Mustang by just to get the plug out. They didn't put anti-seize on their plugs and 5 broke while he was changing all of them. I'll see if I can find out what the tool is called.
I've seen that on YouTube. But I think they are a different type of plug. The guy that took the broken threads out of mine said there is no way these were coming out without cutting them out. And the corrosion was bad enough to ruin the threads on the head.

He's not a mechanic but seemed pretty smart.
