Buy a 10mm spark plug socket, halfords do them about £3-£4.
If it has the rubber retaining bit in the end take it out, good idea but does not work on the scoob block(ratchet came off leaving the socket on the plug inside the block).
What I used to get the correct length was fit the swivel joint on the rachet with spark plug socket on the end, just the right length then. I also had an old 1/2" ratchet with the handle shortened which made it easy as there is not alot of room down the sides of the block.

Hi
Best bet is a 3/8 drive plug socket' short extension ' & a ratchet or a 'T' BAR. You should find it quite easy with these it takes me about 30 - 45 minutes to do all four.This incliudes removing air box and battery to make access easier.
Thanks

Its quicker to remove the washer bottle and leave the battery in situ.

Yep
But it is quite easy for the 6mm bolts to snap that hold the washer bottle in place so better to be safe than sorry
