Try them with a hot engine, and maybe give them a dousing of plus gas.

For tools, I use a plug socket, a short extension (3" or 4"), a u/j, another extension, and a power bar, this is for the rear bank, a bit of copper slip on the new plugs will stop them seizing in the future, I can't remember what the torque figure is for them, but it's not that high, another tip when you fit the new ones is to slide a length of plastic pipe over the porcelain to get them started by hand, much less chance of cross threading them this way
