Need some Pittsburgh help

Looking for someone to lend a hand doing plugs and wires over the winter. I am handy but I hear some of the plugs can be a pain. So if there is anyone out there who has done it before and can lend a hand I would appreciate it. I can also throw in a case of beer or whatever else you like with in reason.

How long did it take you? Also how did you get to the rear plugs, or any special tools?

the book gives you 2.7 hours to change. pretty sure have changed them in less time then that. but that should give you a rough idea how long

Dont be intimidated by changing the plugs. They are very easy. When doing the passenger side I always remove the coil packs & bracket. That makes it alot easier. I do a complete swap in about a hour or less. My AC is out also which makes it easier.
