FFS!! I shouldnt be aloud near cars!

Sounds the like the order could still be a bit wrong TBH. Either that or you've knocked the timing out a tad.

You need a proper Spark Plug socket to get the plugs out. You wont have killed a plug from getting the order wrong.

Me and most people I know just use a long reach socket and if it don't pull the plug out push the ht lead on it and pull it out

For stink I think a proper socket would be best, he's a bit accident prone and I have images of a broken a plug stuck down the whole.
