yea i was pretty disappointed at how easy mine was. man i had the perfect stopper made up out of a grinded down 1/2" socket extension, i cut a piece of wood to cover the radiator in case i slipped, i was stretching, getting ready for something serious, then it flopped right free... lol.

and yea, i can tell you hate working on diesels lol, i guess when you do it for a living you have a different mindset. for me it didn't seem too bad at all.
