Spark Plug Help!
What's the easiest way to remove the plugs on the Passenger side??? I have a guy who's charging me $40 to do my plugs, but the guy takes his time and well i just dont have the time to leave my car at his shop & wait for him to do this. So i figured, me & my father can go ahead and do this but i see just how difficult it looks for the Passenger side.

Easiest way, seeing you have an 2002, unbolts the front 3 I believe bolts on the coil pack and loosen the far back one just a bit and rotate the coil pack rail up as high as you can, and possible unbolt the AIR pipes going into the exhaust manifolds and then they are quite easy to get to, first time might take a little time, but after a few times should be able to do the passenger side 10mins tops

I tried the coil packs and AIR removal, but when it came to that back plug on the passenger side I had a hell of a time. I couldn't lift the car at all. so I found a curb to get onto by backing up over a driveway. Just enough room to crawl under the car without burning my nose on the tranny, haha. From under there you can probably fit your arm up between the tranny and passenger side cat and get to the plug with a stubby socket and some kind of swivel thing I got at NAPA auto parts. If you're anywhere near as buff as I am, it may be a little tough for you to fit your arm up through there. haha, jk, it was a little tight though. good luck! much easier in the future, i'm sure!

Just remove the whole coil pack bracket assembly from the valve cover, then unbolt the AIR and viola. If you have EGR unbolt that biatch also.
You should then be able to easily get down to the spark plug from the top. You kind of have to lean over the motor and put your elbow on the intake to get the right angle though, but it works. Then when you bolt it back up, just leave the very last bolt holding the coil packs on out, so you can do it again next time even easier.

I take the pass side coil pack off and use a Kowa motorcycle sparkplug removal kit.
The black ring around the socket is a spring that holds the plug in there.
