Default Spark Plug HELP!!

I have a 2000 LS1 Camaro. Any pointers on how to get the last two plugs out on the passenger side closest to the firewall? I am thinking about laying it out and using a 2" hole saw to make holes to access the plugs. Any suggestions??

Remove the coil pack off the rocker cover that will give you more room. You might try the #8 from the bottom.

What would help is if you had small hands and arms. I found it a little easier from the bottom and using the slp spark plug socket. Just take your time and be extra careful installing the new plugs so you dont crossthread it then you'd be screwed. have fun.

never had to take a coil pack off and i check plugs regularly. i put the socket & short extension on the plug first and then put the ratchet on. For the last one, it takes 5 min from below with the car jacked up and some light. I index my plugs as well. Dont get in a hurry!
