I've done this both ways..
Boat plug first time around...I had the car on the lift so everything was at a nice level for access and leverage. I was successful but it took a decent amount of effort as the plug wanted to pull out if it wasn't torqued down enough.
Last time I did this was last summer as I had a bit of a leak from one of the tubes. I didn't replace the tubes this time, just the O-rings. I decided to try the bolt/washer setup. First tube I tried I fought with a bit....almost like I was trying to make it too hard. After one popped out, the rest followed easily. Overall, I found the bolt/washer setup to be the easier of the two methods and will use it again next time I'm faced with this job.
Make sure your coil packs and electrical connectors are well seated upon reassembly. If possible, start your car before you button everything back up.
