Not knowing which headers you have, I can't give specific advice... but here's some general advice:
On some of the plugs it is helpful to put the spark plug socket on them and turn it with an open end wrench (if you can't get a rachet/extension on it). Also, a little 1" extension is helpful in some cases when you can't get the ratchet directly on the socket, but also can't fit a normal 3-4" extension.
On my LTX car, even with Jet Hot longtubes, the #8 is still a bitch. I can do it without dropping the starter, but you might want to on yours. Make sure you disconnect the battery before messing with the starter.
