I find the best way to is get everything I need to swap them with me, and lay over the engine, follow the plug boot down to the plug, feel around a bit to get my bearings, and pull the boot, slipping the socket on before I lose the spot...

...remove the old plug, but slide the new one into place before leaving the hole area, so - again, I don't lose the spot...

...thread in the new one, torque it in, and, replace the boot.



Takes about 5 minutes total, less after doing it a few times, and/or there's anti-seize already on the old threads, etc.


I took these pics of 'ol #6 (#666 ?) in its natural habitat, during an engine swap I did a few years ago:
