I found the driver side is easier to do from underneath the engine and really is not that hard to get to. The passenger side in my opinion is harder but i found you should do this side from the top of the car. The last plug on the passenger side (closest to the rear of the car) is the hardest. Takes small hands. A swivel socket may help if you have one. If this is your first time expect i would say atleast 2 3 hours maybe more maybe less. Its not easy. Good luck!

well I gave him a quote of 4 hrs, to do his plugs and fuel filter. He was really nice when he said no, and I do understand that it's a lot of money. So thanks for the help guys, ILL get him next time.
Also... warrenty pays 1.8 hrs, for 8 plugs. The labor guide says 2.7hrs, that's why I said 4 hrs

a good source I found for tricks to changing plugs was off of delteq's website(delteq.com). They have a tech portion on their website that has some hints/tricks to getting to and replacing the plugs...
