Default changing spark plugs

I just did a spark plug change, but I couldn't get #8 out. All are new except #8. Its a PITA. How do you get this one out. I read on installuniversity, but its still hard to take it out. Any advice?

Search is your best friend. Brian (Brains) has alot of the database rebuilt so it's starting to search back farther than 1/2006 now.

swivel sockets help, if you have headers it is easy to get from under the car rather than from top. Take your time and be carefull not to smash the one your putting in.

Just disconnect your AIR Tube and take off the coil pack assembly, then you should have no problem getting it out. After taking those off I got #8 out with a 3/8" rachet and 1" extension. Just be patient......i.e. no throwing tools across the garage

It's soo easy from the bottom, but with some effort you can get it from the top. I have headers though, so there's a little more room up top than with the manifolds.
