Same here. I wound up using a long breaker bar with a box end wrench
over the end to give even more leverage. I must have been a good two
feet out from the fulcrum, and I still had to pull hard on all eight
of them. It's ridiculous that the factory is torquing these plugs in
that tight. It's totally unnecessary.
