Default how do you change the spark plugs?

I have been at this for many hours just getting angry. I got 3 replaced and put the wires in no problem.

The Now I am down to the 5 spark plugs I can't see from the top. I can crawl under the jack but my hydrolic jack sucks so I can only lift it to the bottom spot on my uhh holding jack thingys.

So I can not get my hands to the ones on the right side of the engine at all. Since the plug socket is so huge I can't get it to fit on to the plugs. Is there some tool I am misssing? That I need to change these plugs with.

What I am doing so wrong that this simple task is hours to do. I would like some help :s

I push and shake my car every time. Just to be safe. But thats a good plan i'll look into them. Still not sure it will help me get my wrench threw the maze of ac pipes to the plugs. But the ease of mind might just make the difference.

I will be taking it to a mechanic on monday to finish off the plugs. Since I don't have the tools, and I am hoping the cost of getting them put in by a mechanic is cheaper. If not I'll just finish it up next weekend. Only reason I am not paying for the tools now is I leave for basic soon. No use in buying anything now.
