Ok I did google before coming here and found one thread on the first page of google and the guy who replaced his didn't say how he ended up doing it and that was 2008. The crazy thing is I did change either the entire port or just the valve stems back in around '21 on the other car. I cannot remember which of those 2 things I did but I think I just replaced the stems themselves and IIRC I bought from the parts store. I ordered the entire charge port from LMR this time and they have a ball type looking or what appears to be a black ball when looking down in the charge port ( actually on the 94 I changed it looks the same). There is No size wrench or even socket that fits the port so I thought maybe they want you to use an adjustable wrench as to not over torque but no that's not it either, it doesn't want to come off with that and I even put some penetrating oil around the connections. Has anyone ever changed out the entire port and how lol? .........

Well I had one laying around in my barn off of the V6 setup when I did the swap back and o2. Tried a set of lock pliers/vice grips on that one and I was able to get it off......
