Is there another way to push them in with the engine installed?
The plugs pop right out if you pierce the center with either a pick or small screw and then pull. Once removed, thoroughly clean the plug opening before pushing in the new plug (any small hammer like device will do), and only install the plug dry (absolutely no sealant).
