Sparkplug Pulling Problem?
Was going to change the plugs, starting with the rear trailing -- But I can't even get a plug socket onto it. It feels like (to my fingers( that the front of the car side is metal right up to the plug not leaving room for a socket to slip over the plug?
First time I've tried to change them myself and it's weird. Does it take a special tool?
Or worse case has the plug been somehow tightened too tight and too low to grab?
I'm afraid to try and remove it by the ceramic, almost positive it would snap.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you need to replace with ngk - BUR7EQ (leading) and BUR9EQ (trailing). You won't have this issue after.
You can always just grind down a normal socket with a grinder or something which i've done in the past. Don't grind too thin otherwise the socket metal will crack when you try to turn the plugs out.
