ya its easy just wait to change your oil and do it all at once(although u don't have to wait until then). if u search you'll find much stuff.

You can take it out and clean it up. Apply new thread sealant like Loctite or Teflon paste. You should be good to go.

Oh...you need a big ole combination wrench. It's like one inch. I would just rent it because you will never use one that big. Unless you fix big rigs.
