Easy.

Use a short piece of 1/2" heater hose (slipped over ceramic body of plug) to undo the final turns and take out plug. Install and screw in new plug the same way. Then tighten with socket.

So easy you will probably use that hose for the other five plugs as well.

That way there is no handling the spark plug at all. The hose grips onto the spark plug so you only need to hold the hose when inserting the new plug and starting it on the thread, or removing the old plug.

I just cut some old heater hose and put it in the tool box next to the plug sockets. No more screaming at the plug.

Back.

Make the hose about 12" long so it can bend as required.
