Look closely at the dogbone shaped engine mounts at the front of the engine. You will see that they have spare holes underneath. These holes are there so that you can unbolt the dogbones, pull the engine forward, and then slip the bolts back through the slave holes on the dogbones. Rotating the engine forward will give you plenty of access to the rear plugs.

Here's one illustrated method using a pry bar to slave the engine forward.

Here's another illustrated method using a ratcheting strap to pull the engine forward.

As he stated, rotate the engine forward...in my experiences, removing the alternator frees up a bunch of room. Just BE PATIENT..I recommend waiting for the engine to cool or you get the awesome natural burn tattoos like me.
