I'm cheating because I have the manifold off for this change but I also used the Schwaben long magnetic spark plug socket for the first time and it's the perfect size to fit into the #4 and #8 holes without losing the socket down the hole etc. I had been using a locking extension with a standard plug socket and this made life a lot easier near the strut towers. Just drop the socket in the hole and then figure out extensions without worrying about losing it and you can pull it out with some needle nose pliers in the square drive hole if t comes off the ratchet/extensions

Btw if you leave the passenger side coil cover off there's no need to move the expansion tank for future plug changes

Plugs are still $9.15 or so per plug on Amazon right now too
