Carb Cleaner for Plug Removal

I read recently that Ford changed the TSB for the plug removal. In it, they state the use of Ford carb cleaner. What I am wondering, since I am going to the store for the final stuff before the S/C install, do I need to buy the Ford specific carb cleaner or will any name brand cleaner do the trick. It is just one more stop and a premium I would rather not pay if all things are equal.

Here is the tsb for reference:

Thanks,

hey Greg,
thats what i am thinking. Anything Carb eating should do. The question is if that stuff interfears with the penetreting oil in any way.

All carb cleaners work about the same IMO. They all use the same basic ingredients, toulene, methanol, methylene chloride. I don't have any PM-3 either, and I work for a dealership. Figure that one out.

That is what I needed to know, I will just pick up some from the local autoparts store.

Thanks,
