Could you elaborate on what you were saying about using slight upward pressure while turning?
I was using an extension on the deep socket I was using, and whenever I turned the plug back and forth I would also use a slight pulling up on the extension while turning. Its a little bit of a juggling act with one hand holding the socket on the end of the extension and the other hand keeping the top end connected to the wrench.

Those two plugs were so carbon bound that they would squeak when being moved in either direction.
