Getting the plugs from the bottom is much easier than getting it from the top. Soak the plugs in penetrating lubricant if you are afraid of snapping them. Good luck!

That is why you always use antiseize on the plugs and remove them at lease twice a year to clean or change them to insure that they will not stick.

Have been driving aluminum engine cars since 1968 and never never had any plug problems with my protocol! Two Alfa Romeos, Mazda GLC, Mazda MX3,
FB RX-7, FD RX-7, and PT Cruiser.

Vaseline will be gone before long. Get some copper anti-seize and lube the threads with that. Next time will be cake. I replace my plugs with a short handle ratchet and just reaching my hands down below the throttle elbow and working blind.
