In my case, I work out with exercises before starting on the rear plugs from now on. Pulled my back muscles last time around. They are a real pain in the butt, however, with the right tools and patience can be done.

It can be done easily without rocking the engine forward. Get yourself a swiveling socket to get out those rear plugs and an extention. Some people have problems with plug #6 because the O2 sensor is kinda in the way but with me it was #2. Just with a little patience you can get them outta there in no time. I even used a torque wrench to get the proper tightness on the plugs. Make sure you get some anti-seize grease for the threads and dielectric for the plug tips.
