Angry Headers and plugs

How the heck do you get to the front 3 plugs on the passenger side with Pacesetter long tubes in place? The back was easy from the underside. Need help badly, I am putting NGK6 in for the N20 and have 3 plat. plugs to remove yet, also is running like hell this way!

Not sure about PS headers, but with my JH's I take the coilpack off pass side, after the 1st time, only put two bolts back in the coil pack bracket. Anyway, remove CP and voila, they are a snap..oh yeah and if you still have EGR/AIR remove them also, be careful and you can reuse the graphite gaskets.
When I still had those things, I changed plugs 3x and was able to reuse the gaskets so it can be done easily.
