get a 5/8 socket---6 inch extention--& a ratchet ---assemble it --then stick it down the spark plug hole & turn counter clockwise

and a piece of 1/2 rubber hose makes it so much easier to get them in and out

You don't have to remove them. Just pull the wires off and you'll be fine.

Or you could use a spark plug socket, an extension, and ratchet. Wats the rubber hose for?

Or you can just put lateral pressure on the socket/extension while you're pulling it out.
