On the rear plugs that you don't have allot of room for I just slid a plug socket on the plug and use a open end wrench on the hexagon end of the socket. Also It helps if you have a old straight plug wire end with a little wire hanging off the end to put the plug into to help un-thread the old plug and thread in the new. Even if the plugs say pre-gapped be sure to check and gap as needed.

Yes, they are priceless, and I keep my extensions in a crystal vase.
