I have goliath hands and I can get the plug wires off the rear cylinders. Its not easy but is possible. I imagine having a spark plug wire pliers would make things easier.
for the instalation having at least a 12" long extension is nice. And for the removal and instalation having a spark plug socket with the rubber instert that hold the plug makes things easier too. BTW, if you put a little silicone on the spark plug boot when putting it back on it makes it so much easier to press them back on.
