Has anyone attempted to ask the repair shop to lessen the price because your Expy has the brown boots instead of the black?
Usually the initial fee is for a normal plug change. Then they charge extra for each broken plug. So I doubt they'll charge less.

Has anyone heard of the dealer using some "sleves" when they do a spark plug change so that next time when plugs needs to be removed they won't break?

I called a local dealer and thats what they told me they do.

The only sleeve I can think of are timeserts. They're not cheap and not worth it IMO. Get the newer one piece plug and use antisieze.

I just finished mine
Truck has 127k and they were done at about 70k
I had bought the Lisle extraction kit.
Sprayed with PB, w/ engine warm.
Went about changing oil and then went to work on them
I worked them back and forth and only one broke..
Rear on passenger side was loose.
