I bought a bunch of all thread couplings and used one that fit snug (I tapped it in with a hammer) then put a wrench on it and gave 'er hell.

Yeah, it's a big hex.

What I did was get a bolt in which the head fits the hex opening. Then thread two nuts on it and lock them together on the bolt. Then you can just use those and the head of the bolt to back the plugs out of the block.

That works wonders as well.

I bought my block fitting kit thru Go-Autoworks. I bought the full catch can setup so the block fittings and plugs came with it.

There's a couple threads online about using some factory fitting from honda for a barb nipple. That's what I did, but I couldn't tell you the part numbers off the top of my head.
