Default removing oil gallery plugs on B18A block?

I'm trying to clean my block before reassembly. Does anyone know whether the large hex-type plugs at either end of the crank journal oil gallery just unscrew? They look like the plugs on the back of the block that get removed for the Endyn breather kit. There is one at either end of the gallery.

I'd like to know for sure before I order the tool (Sears doesn't carry 14mm allen keys, apparently..). Looks like Snap-On or ToolWarehouse...

Thanks.

Im 99.9% sure its a 14mm Allen that you need, i would get the socket type in the 3/8ths or 1/2 ratchet variety.

And, yes they do screw out.
