Exclamation Desperate Spark plug help needed

I am changing the plugs on my 04' f150. all are done except the back two. I have broken them loose and let them soak but they just keep spinning and wont come out. I am able to tighten them all the way back down and then i begin to loosen and once they reach the point of when they should come out nothing.....I am able to get some needle nose in there and and grab the plug but it doesn't come out. any ideas.......?

NBS, but i finally got it!!! I put a flat head screwdriver along side the socket and tried to help pull it up while i turned the socket and it finally came out. After approx. 7-8 hours i was able to replace all eight. 7 broke, but i had the lisle tool which is worth its weight in gold. It was certainly a pain in the ****, but for anyone hesitating to do make sure you have the right tools and for sure the lisle tool.

I would also like to thank all those who previously changed theirs and shared with us experiences and tips!!!!
