If its '00 and up it should have the tubular manifolds, in which case it is very easy. If its 99 and under its got the logs its a little more of a pain, just because of the small amount of room. You may be able to get at some of them from the bottom as well.

Just give it a shot. Either that or take it to a shop and lose yourself $500 or some other ridiculous amount right away...

They only plug you might have problems with are the #6 one. The rest can be done in 20 minutes with just a simple spark plug socket, ratchet and extension. Wires are easy. Take one off at a time.

Agreed, it's just #6 that will likely be a headache! The others are quick and easy!

I have a 98 camaro and the #3 plug is impossible to get to even from the bottom.

#6 is just as easy as the rest. Coming from below the vehicle, take your socket off of the ratchet and use a 3/4” wrench to torque the socket instead of the ratchet. Every spark plug socket i have ever seen has a base shaped to mimic a 3/4” nut specifically for vee and boxer/pancake engine applications where there isn’t enough clearance for a ratchet.

I'm gonna say man up and do it yourself. Regardless of how "hard" it is to do.

Or pay someone.

This post was in jest. Everyone calm their ****.

If you have headers and stubby wrench to accompany your regular ratchet / socket set you can get it done in about 30 minutes or less. If this is your first time doing it expect about a 6-8 hour job lol
