John, after studying under the hood a while, I think you've got it.
My mechanic has already put in the low-priced plugs. In 30,000 miles
they should be ready to be replaced and I am going to try your method.

Thanks very much.

You're welcome, but I can't take the credit...someone else here mentioned it
and posted some good instrux long before me. Smile I bought a 3/8 knuckle
adapter and a short extension that allows some flex, anticipating this was
going to be trouble. Turns out that the plug socket and ratchet were all I
needed. It was tight, but it worked. I bought the Stanley set of sockets at
Walmart.
