Like mentioned above you'll probably find it much easier to get to the back one from under the car.

I was able to get them from the top but it took patience. I reused the spark plug covers and that made it harder. If you haven't done so, removing the EGR tube and coil rack makes things a lot easier.

from the bottom... I did mine from the top at first and it was a time killer. From the bottom saved me about 20 minutes

I pulled the coil for that plug off and got it from up top.

But looking from under the car it seems really easy to do
