Just how hard is the spark plug change?

I used liquid wrench. What I did was got the motor warm to the touch, removed the COPs from the plugs, vacuumed out the debris, sprayed in liquid wrench, loosened them all off a quarter turn, sprayed more liquid wrench, and left it like an hour. When I came back I put a impact on it. If you do the impact way I was advised not to stop or the plug would break. Only broke one plug. It was the hardest one to get to at the very back of the passenger side. That shut me and my dad down for a few days while we waited for the tool to come in. The tool is really easy to use if you follow the directions. I was 17 at the time I did it with my dad's help. We noticed that all the plugs had been changed previously except the one that broke. Your back will likely get sore leaning over the engine bay for so long. Also if you rest on anything while working on it I suggest covering it with something padded such as a folded towel or shop pad mainly because it really hurts to lean on that stuff for a few hours. You can do it. Just takes patience. The lisle tool is a lifesaver though.
