I would ask the gf to help you and plan in advance. She can get the drinks, make the sandwhiches, hand you the tools and hold the flash light.

Wake up as early as possible, like 5am so you can be out there around 6 and use as much sunlight as possible.

Spray the pugs with some king of penetrating oil. I used liquid wrench but there's plenty of choices. Put it back together and warm up the truck to at least the 1/4 hash mark (or 1/2 of fully warm) unless it the passenger rear then fully warm.

You can get more clearance removing the fuel rails but that requires depressurizing the pump and you will still get some spillage. Unbolt the the mounted coil packs and remove the metal holder from the firewall for passenger rear side.

Get locking extensions if you have to remove any more otherwise you will be fishing for your socket.

Replace with Champion plugs so you never relive the nightmare again!
