Default changing spark plugs

Any tips on changing spark plugs?/??? The plugs on the passenger side look like they are going to be a b**** to change. Any suggestions are welcome......

i would recommend a small 4" extension for your ratchet and possible a "u-joint" or "swivel adapter" as some people call it..or they make ratchets that swivel..either way it may come in handy on number 8..

Removing the passenger side coil pack assembly makes things MUCH easier. I also disconnected the AIR tube from the exhaust manifold to get me some extra room.

The #8 is still a bastard though...

If you have the stock exhaust manifolds then do the right rear plug from underneath. I found out after installing my qtp headers that it's pretty easy to do all plugs from above now.
