After 65000 miles, my wires were on there tight. It would have saved me a lot of frustration to have rocked my engine forward, but probably not any time. Managed to drop the far left rear plug because of the slim access. For something you do far less than oil changes, it's okay to put up with a few minutes of frustration, I guess.

Well I know this post is several weeks old now but I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to answer my question and to be way friendlier than that kind of question deserved.

I've since changed out the plugs (and everyone was right no motor rocking needed, and only 1 bloody knuckle!) I had some bigger plans for the car performance wise but after realizing I confused spark plugs and coil packs I'm going to put the brakes on a for a bit and take it easy.
