I'm tryin to do this. I got a screw in there after drilling (accidentally all the way through the plug, but I had lots of greese so I hope I caught all the bits)through, but I can't get it to pull out. I did spray a decent amount of carb cleaner on the plug before doing any work to allow me to work the plug free but I can't get the plug to come. I did hit the plug down a bit like it's suggested but I'm thinking maybe the screw is squishing the plug against the sides so it's making it hard to pull the plug out.

Will it be easier to pull it out if I have a slide hammer?

 

Yes, slide hammer will do the trick as I've seen it on a DIY.

 

Ok, I finally got this done and wanna share a few things. First, the ones you get from Honda are not like the ones you're gonna be pulling out. I went round and round with a couple dealers til I just took what they gave me and did it and saw that the pieces are different.

Secondly, make sure the screw from the slide hammer is just a little bit bigger than the drill bit you use.

Thirdly, make sure as you drill you keep greasing the tip of the bit a lil and removing the bits. I found that I was gonna pretty much have to drill through each one then put the slide hammer and screw in and tap it out. I was really having a pain til I did some thinking and realized that the drilled hole was too small for the screw. Even though I could get the screw in, it was squeazing the sides of the plug so hard that it was making it impossible to pull it out so I drilled with a bigger bit and that made the screw screw in a lil easier. While I originally thought this was bad due to the fact that I might rip the screw out and cause a big hole, I figured that I was actually gonna be able to get it out easier due to the fact that the plug wasn't getting squeezed and I got them all out that way.

One thing I wanna ask is, there appear to be two more plugs kinda offset on the fuel rail/intake, do I need to do those too? I really didn't realize there were two more until after I did the original four.

 

Just to update I found this video that shows that you do have to take out the other two plugs.
