If you are going to use the bolt method, the spark plug may be in the way... besides spark plugs are partially made of porcelain and the last thing you want to do is cause another issue. Better safe, than sorry.
Transom tool grabs from the top of the plastic tube, the bolt method grabs from the bottom edge of the tube.
