Pedro's has a good DIY for the plugs and O rings

However when I did mine a few weeks back I could not get the tubes out with his suggestion of the boat plug, what I did do is:

A. Started off with spraying some electrical cleaner around spark plugs to clean off the dirt and oil.
B. Followed procedures to remove plugs but prior to actually pulling the plugs I sprayed compressed air into the tube to make sure I had no dirt or foreign objects in tube area
C. Removed spark plugs
D. When it came time to pull the tubes out I could not get them out with Pedro's suggestion so I used a brake spring pull tool which had a T handle and they came right out.

If I were you and had gone that far I would replace the tubes at the same time as they are fairly cheap.
