Rare, just go to your dealer and wait two days?

The sockets are often containing a metal 'gripper' spring to enable you to withdraw the whole thing from the deep hole.
Do a dry run - you might find your extension bar pulls off before the socket detaches from the plug - deep shit.
I slackened off the plug clips a bit - best bet is to find a socket with a mega secure square drive ball/keeper.

Make sure you apply the correct torque and use a quality torque wrench, a loose (or overtight) plug can be catastrophic if it rips the threads out or cracks.
14Nm comes to mind - you may want to check that.

The 'dealer' tool has an inbuilt torque 'clicker' so you can work faster.
Do not use non conductive grease on threads either.
