Default Spark plug change sv650L2

Hi folks, can someone give me a good tip for removing the rear left plug cap. It's bloody tight under that tank. Cheers

You might get more help if you say what sort of bike you have.

Are you using the plug removal tool from the SV tool kit or equivalent, it's the best thing for it.

I found swearing a lot helped, it was an absolute pig last time I did it so I'm hoping someone knows an easier way!
