Last time I did, didn't even need extensions ( I have small girlish hands). Go to parts store and buy the dialectric grease, and anti-seize paste. Both come in same package. It makes it lot easier, for next time when you do it.

I agree with the first two guys and would like to also add that you pay particular attention to not bind the tool/swivel/extension w/ header tubes or plugs while tightening new plugs in.I have seen a great deal of people crack the porcelin insulators in doing so.Also if you drop a plug do yourself a favor and inspect the gap every time.

I have equal headers, and plugs take about 10 min to change all of them. no harder really than regular headers.
