Just Venting!!!

I have a 98' Z and yesterday it took me 6 hours to change my fuel filter (PITFA to remove with out that tool), change my oil (no problem there), and here's the kicker...the FREEKIN' spark plugs! The drivers side took all of 25 minutes to do. The passenger side was such a pain! I had to remove the air hose, all of the individual coils (they're not all on the same bracket like on later F-bodies), and just getting to that infamous #8 plug was enough to make me wanna puke!!! Please chime in if you've had any similar frustrating experiences...

...Feelin ya. It took me 3 hrs last time I did them but #8 was one of the easier plugs to get when I was under the car.

did you go from underneath the car for the no8 plug? its so much easier that way, takes about 10 min but much quicker.

I tried getting the # 8 plug from underneath, but I still didn't have any room. The exhaust connects to the exhaust manifold right there and there was no way I could get my hand or any tools back there. From here on out, I'm gonna stop wasting time and remove the coilpacks from the get-go.
