I assume you have a 4 cylendar engine-
get a tube of dielectric grease (silicone, expensive!) to lube the rubber boots that fit over the plugs. Without it the chance of tearing the boot at next plug change goes up substantially.
Also, use a blower of some kind to blow out grit from around the plugs after the DIC is removed but before you remove the plugs. They are in a well, so dirt collects around the base and could fall into the hole once the plug is out.
the plug change is about as easy a chore there is.
