I haven't had an issue with #8 plug.
it could be easier, but using a swivel headed ratchet and a socket.
I don't recall if i needed a swivel bit or not, but it's not that bad.
Found getting the plug boot off was the hardest thing about it.
I found i like to loosen it manually, then zip it off with an air ratchet and some extensions /swivels.
I'll do the same installing, Start the threads manually.
Then zip it on with my low powered 1/4 air ratchet, then torque it down manually.
Wee air ratchet i have:

Only complaint is it can get warm when used heavily.
