You *can* get them out, it's just difficult. What you
need is the right sized extention + a jointed
extention, and the socket.

Most FLAPS carry the flex extention that will make
changing the plugs possible. Still difficult, but
possible. I got mine at Pep Boys and it came in a pack
of three.

Go to www.crafsman.com and do a search for "flex
socket" and you'll find them. They're a godsend for
these cars for more than just the spark plugs.
