Slide your spark plug socket onto the plug, put a box wrench on the hex of the socket.

Plug socket, with a small extension, on a ratchet works for me.

Once you loosen the spark plug with the socket, remove the socket and push a piece of vacuum hose onto the tip of the plug. Then twist it out by hand using the vacuum hose.

Surprised your having that much trouble with the Pacesetters on there.
