I did the 8th from below on saturday, but be careful and don't do something dumb like me, I was tightening the plug rather then loosing it and I broke the plug in half, thank the Lord I was still able to grip the rest of the plug still in the block

Well when I changed mine I had my headers off, I took the passenger side coil packs off and I also had the car up on jacks, because I was changing out my headers. I would definitely say going from bottom is easier. I could see the last 2 plugs and easily get to them on both sides, driver and passenger from under the car, and then getting the front 2 plugs is easy from top

First time took 2 hours. I can do them now in 15-20 min. From the top.

I leave the coil packs on both sides, only remove the A.I.R. tube on the passenger side, and # 8 from the bottom. I do have to remove the plug wires completely to have room to work.
