Over tight spark plugs 3.5V8

Got the MoT on Monday so put in a new dizzy cap, rotor arm and plugs (NGK BP6ES) as part of my mini service and check up.
Only 6 plugs replaced as #5 and #2 won't budge
I don't want to force them so added some penetrating fluid to the holes and will try again tomorrow.
Any other hints appreciated.
Thank you.

Try getting the engine up to operating temperature and then see if they undo.

Without burning myself
Just about to collect grand daughter from school so may have a go after.

Yep. Take it for a run & get it hot.

Are they the correct plugs your removing...mine had long reach in by po and the last one had locked thread against head and snapped...had to take head off to remove...

Thanks for the replies. The two stuck plugs are out Heat from a drive, release spray, a bit more force (I was rather gentle the first time) and appropriately timed swear words were needed. The new ones went in easily so no damaged threads

Last time that happened to me I took the cheaters option and used a rattle-gun to remove the stuck one(s) when my brute-force and ignorance on the plug-spanner was getting nowhere.
Came out easily, and no issues with the new plugs going in. I have no idea why they were in so tight, its not a cast-iron head after all.

Been told that I should put them back in with anti seize,
Any thoughts? Means taking them out again Never used it on plugs before.

Don't tighten plugs into a hot engine, probably what the last chap did..

A dab of antiseize won't to much harm I suppose, don't slap it on though!

Neither have I, boats or cars.
NGK say don't on shiny plugs. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/NGK_TB-0630111antisieze.pdf
Bosch don't seem happy about it either, saying if you do you need to drop the tightening torque by a considerable amount: https://www.boschsparkplugs.net/learning-center/article/524/plug-torque-settings

By the time I had removed the two stubborn plugs the engine was slightly warm to touch but not hot so should be ok.
