No. Just be careful not to damage the plug wires (bend, kink or leave wire leaning on header).
To make this easier for me, I take the plug socket and it has that handy hex setup on the end, get the socket (I believe it is a 3/4) and hand tighten the plug socket in and then take your socket wrench with that 3/4 socket and tighten it like that, this gives you a bit more extension and helps out a great deal...at least I do this every plug change and it takes me less than 30 minutes to do it.

try it with a short piece or rubber hose instead of the socket. You can move it around a lot more and its easier to hold onto, plus you can't cross thread it by accident. It works like charm. I used to do the plug socket thing until an old friend showed me the rubber hose trick.
