Spark Plug change Help? Hey guys, im about to do my spark plugs for the first time. I just got my SLP spark plug socket and wanted to know the best way to go about this? the passenger side is super cramp and i think my hands might be to big to go from under neath. Any help would be much appreciated. -Kyle

I forgot where I read this, but it made it so much easier for me.
Buy new wires. The originals are going to break.
Remove the A.I.R. tube going to the passenger manifold.
Remove the right side coil pack.
I was able to get to the drivers side plugs without removing anything.

rocndave is right, pulling the right side coil pack removed makes it worlds easier.
The PCM harness is retained by a body clip right above the coil packs. You'll need to undo it then the wiring harness can be moved out of the way. Pop all the plug wires off the coils then the main harness plug in the center. A deep 10mm socket will undo the five bolts.
Before you put the coil packs back, get the spark plug wires on the spark plugs. This way you won't have to get down to the #8 plug.
I don't know why you'd need the SLP socket-especially without headers. Any socket should do.
I have a long (four inch) MAC socket with a knurled end and can be driven by a 3/8 drive or 5/8 wrench. It does everything.
