It's pretty easy if you take the coil pack brackets off that side and go in across the intake. I know that's an odd description but it makes sense in my head. lol

it's not too tough from the top with the coil packs and emissions stuff removed/out of the way.

I don't see how anybody does this **** from the bottom... I can't even SEE any of my spark plug wires from under the car.

Really the hardest part is getting to that flippin bolt on the very back of the coil pack bracket, I just left it out after the first time I got it out. But once thats off the coils come off so easy and its amazingly easier to get to that plug and wire. It opens up more room than you would think if you haven't done it that way before.

Glad you got it done OP, try the coils next time and see which way you like better.
