Default APS guys number eight plug and wire changing?

I just put on my new granatelli 1200 degree wires. one of my accel 9000 was burnt thru! Number 4.

But not sure how to do number eight wire. And also curious about plug change later. Do I need to take off my coil pack and then do number eight by lying on the engine and reaching behind or can you get to number eight plug and wire from below? With my tts headers I could do number 8 from underneath.

I pulled the wastegate and did it from bottom. It's a bitch, I can't fit my hand from the top to put the wire on the plug.

I did all mine from the top. I think I had the coil pack off or moved aside when I did it. It was tight, but not impossible.

Yeah did the number eight plug wire by taking off the coipacks ,annoying but doable if you lie on the engine..recommend a pillow.
looks like have to do number eight plug same way. From below is definitely not so easy it looks like. Course in the 99 it was pretty much how you had to change plugs anyway. on the 2000 the manifold change made it easy to get to number eight from below.
