Default need help w/ spark plug replacement

is it necessary to move the egr tube and ac lines to replace the right bank plugs? i'm at 80k miles and getting poor fuel mileage. also, when replacing wires, do they ever get stuck on the coils causing damage to the coils when removed?

What year is your ride? I just unfastened the bolts to my coil packs up front, leaving the one bolt in the back. I got a small piece of string/rope and swiveled up the packs and tied them to the the trasmission tube. Gave me plenty more room to work. You do not neeed to remove egr and ac. You can loosen the ac maybe, but I didn't have to. "installuniversity.com" has a great article on how to do it yourself. That's what I used.
