AI still in place? If so may want to consider removing it. It will give plenty of room to remove the plugs.

Once the plug is loose I use a three inch section of tubing slipped over the plug's insulator to unscrew it the rest of the way. Same method for replacing the plug.

An 18 mm spark plug socket has thinner walls and works soooo much better. Got mine at Sears.. 10 bucks I think.

12 point socket seems to work better than the 6 point too.
