Impact to remove spark plugs

Practically, if the sparkplug is not plumb, with the electrode down, how are you going to dispense any refrigerant liquid onto it, i.e. so that said liquid stays on the sparkplug, and does not migrate onto the aluminum head? Even with perfect-orientation plugs, which are often in deep wells, again, how to refrigerate the plug and not the head? Simply not practical. Good penetrating oil, time, 1/8th or 1/16th turn tightening, and then loosening, a few times... over an extended period of time... and then bringing engine to operating temp... that'd be the way I'd do it.

This pre-supposes you CAN do it over several days.
If you spray it directly at the spark plug, it's going to cool the spark plug the most, while the aluminum head has better conduction and a larger mass to sink (ambient or warm engine) heat back to the area around the hole in it. Not suggesting it's perfect, but perfect would be that the plug's not stuck in the first palce.
