Can't get to that last spark plug wire???
Passenger side spark plug wire on the last cylinder by the fire wall. This sucker is completly covered by everything on top of the head.
How is everyone changing this spark plug wire? I cannot see any way to get my hand or any tool in there to change it out.
Thanks for any guidance!

i don't have a problem going in from the side of the motor along the primaries on the longtubes. I am also a little guy taken into account though with my AC removed which helps out quite a bit. Just remove the AC, lol. +1 Going from the bottom if you can't get it from above.

i am a bigger guy who still has stock manifolds, cats, etc. i was able to get it from the top with both coil packs removed and still cut my wrists up....i do that everytime i think about a plug change on a stock manifold car. cant wait for long tubes.

+ 1 on removing the coil pack brackets. I get mine from the top this way w/ no problems. Also, disconnect the a.i.r. tube on the stock manifold/header if you havent already. Should make it a lot easier.

The AIR tube was removed but that was never really in the way anyways. I guess its the ac tubes that are blocking everything, and the coil packs sit high on the valve covers. The heads don't help any since they sit higher than stock ones.
so everyone is saying you can reach these wires, even to the coil pack from below??? I don't think my arms are long enough for that, lol!

You need more tools or to choose the correct tools to do the job .. get a 3/8 inch flex head ratchet with 1 inch extention and a 3 inch extention to use depending on which plug you are changing for numbers 1-7 .. use a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with a 3/8 inch adapter and a spark plug socket for number 8...I change plugs in 25 minutes 1-7 from the top and # 8 from the bottom and change them every 12K-15K miles which is twice a year for me ..

VERY sterile engine compartment... Looks great!
Who's valve covers do you have? They are the only ones I have seen that don't look taco....
Thanks!
