just take off the valve cover and get plyers and then just loosen it and take that one out and then get another one and put it back in

Yeah, pull one from the boneyard n save some bucks. I just spent over 80 on VC bolts, seals and sparkplug seals. They're not cheap from Honda. Or Acura in your case.
