Anybody have any good ideas about removing these plugs without breaking them, or if they break any good ways to remove them, don't feel like shelling out $180 with Matco for the specialty tool.

Just follow the TSB and you should be fine. Also, do a little searching of the different Mustang forums and you will find plenty of info on how to do it. I changed mine out to the one-piece Champions back in the Spring and didn't have any problems.
