I recommend a Craftsman sparkplug socket with an integral swivel. To it, I insert a second swivel to the integral one and then attach a short extension to that. Then I snake this apparatus down the hole and then attach my 3/8" drive breaker bar. With 1/4 turn the plug is loose enough (with anti-seize on the threads from before) to remove the breaker bar and turn it out by using my fingers to turn the end of the short extension. Easy-pleasy!

Don't forget the anti-seize on the new threads...and 12-15# torque is just plenty - don't want to strip the aluminum head!!
