So im in the middle of giving it a tuneup..this is the first time im changing the plugs on my 98 WS6..the #8 plug is pissin me off..its impossible to get out! ive tried from the top, bottom, and everywhere inbetween..wats ur guys suggestions on getting this plug out??? do i need to take all the A/C tubes out to get from top?? or exhaust manifold from bottom?? or is this unnecessary? Bout ready to toss a match on it and turn in to insurance company lol

LOL oh i see. Its pissin you off so your gonna kill it. Thought maybe there would be a totaly spontanious car fire on ls1tech 
Take a coil pack off or 2. I wouldnt touch the ac lines. You just have to get in there with some sockets, extentions, and just get your hands smashed up.
8 is a pita. I have it easy now because I deleted my a/c, air, and I have lts

As funny sounding as the granade under the hood sounds. I will drive up from texas tomarrow to take her off your hands. :grin: It aint that far, do it acouple times yearly to central il. Hang in there and listen to these guys they have helped me a time or two from doing the same as you want to do. :thumbsup:

Well if you dont mind charging the system up again then pull the ac lines. When I had ac on my car and past cars (3 ls1s) I was always able to get to the plugs. First time is always a pita. You kinda have to get creative with the fingers just like if you were to get the old lady off (lol)
Keep at it man you will get it. I have some swivel join knuckle sockes, swivel socket, and different extentions that got the job done.

ya thats what i ended up using...i had to put the spark plug socket on the plug by hand..then stick the wrench down there and stick it on the socket..that worked like a charm! the universal head made all the difference

Mental note for next time: having just done it you should have a clear shot at it from the left side of the catalytic converter coming in from the bottom. We couldn't get #8 from the top and since we had in on a lift, looking underneath that was the easiest way to get at it :-)
