Question passeneger side rear spark plug wire??

So are there any tricks to getting this wire on? I just finished everything up on the header install and went to put on the plug wires and I got all of them on except the passenger side one closest to the firewall . I just cant get my hand back there to put the wire on the coil pack. Im thinking Ill just have to take the back two coil packs off and plug the wire on the coil pack then I think I can get the wire on the plug from under the car but that looks like a major pain in the *** b/c of all the AC **** and the !AIR in the way...What do you guys think? any suggestions would be great...

yah I still have the car on the jack stands and I cant get my hand up far enough to get the wire on the coil pack, I can get it on the spark plug fine but I guess my arms are is too big to get it the rest of the way maybe it is possible to do it that way with the stock manifolds but def not with the longtubes...anyother suggestions guys?

I removed the coil pack bracket and did everything from the top. I found its easiest to attach the plug wire to the last coil pack before bolting the coil pack brackets back on.

Yep, i would recommend under the car for that one, so much more room. Well I guess it depends on what headers you have. Even though I have to go with the hasstle of taking the jack from te back yard to the front along with axel stands, its still quicker and easier to do that to get the car up in the air to know the spark lead is firmly on.

Find a buddy who's got a real skinny arm.
Or just jam your own arm back in there. It's tight, you'll probably have some war wounds when done. They're a PITA!!!
