Thanks gents. This all started because of timing and tune up goals. And because it's (the car) new to me, I wanted to see the condition of the plugs to examine what's happening in the cylinders as far as combustion goes. So, it's cold this morning and I'll go out and try again. With a little bigger lever. I am using a 5/8 spark plug socket with the rubber insert.

The axles have anti-seize on them. The spinner removal is next after I get my lift installed in the garage. Thanks for the suggestions. These forums are great.
