I bought a spark-plug socket with hex on top. I use an open-end wrench on the socket's hex for the back plug by the A/C box.

I don't recall specifically what I use for the plug behind the A/C compressor--I must use something fairly common that I already have in my toolbox.

I find that one is easy to get to from underneath. Jack up the car a reach up, there is a lot more room for your hand. If you must go from the top, a long extension with a swivel spark plug socket will usually work.

I had to look up what a sidewinder was. Very clever! Let us know how it works on that job.

#8 Plug removal assembly. The only other item you may need is a plug boot puller.
