Anyone have this tool that I could borrow??

Hi folks,

I'm going to be changing the spark plugs on my 2005 F250 with the 5.4L 3-valve motor. The truck has about 91,000 miles on it and the plugs are original. The '04-'08 3-valve 5.4's are famous for having the spark plugs come apart, as threads extend into the combustion chamber and get carboned up. When you try to remove the plug, the carbon prevents the plug from threading out and the plug breaks into two pieces, leaving the threaded part in the head. Given my luck in general, I'm expecting 6 to 8 of the plugs to break on me.

The answer to this problem is a special tool - but the dang thing is $90 and while I love buying tools, I hate to have to spend almost $100 on a tool that I will probably only use one day.

So...do any of you have one of these that I could borrow? The parts store has loaner tools...but not this particular tool. If you're local and have one handy I'd be glad to meet somewhere and buy you lunch. I'm in the Moon Twp area, about 3 minutes from Robert Morris University.

Here's the part - from the Advance Auto website...

Thanks guys!
