I've got RP without the modifier. The reason you don't need it is because RP already contains whatever it is that the modifier adds. So technically, you've already got it in there.

I've done that too. 
It shouldn't be that difficult. I got mine out using a 6 inch long handle. Are you sure you're turning the right plug too? The one that will spill out over the spring and takes an allen key.

Make sure you can take the filler plug out before you take the drain plug out. When you find out you can't get the filler plug out after you've drained your rear end, it's like having a real bad hair day.
