I was just going to suggest this. If the handle is pointing towards the drivers side, push down on the handle, if it'* pointing to the passenger side, pull the handle up. to loosen
Use a rachet on the front and loosen one there...
Don't make any changes to the tool and it will automaticly be correct for the rear!
Can't get any simpler than that...

Morning everyone.. OMG.. thanks for the giggle this morning.

Working with old plugs like that is sometimes a matter of the right tools. Next time you are at sears get the 3/8'* ratchet with the long handle and pivoting head. You'll never regret it.. one of the best $20 I spent.

The long handle gives you nice leverage in spots like this...
