Basically take out as much **** as you can to help you get to them. Then pray.

It's pretty easy to do the plugs with the coil packs out of the way. Don't try and fight them, you'll waste alot of time. I just take the coils off and hug the block with a shorty ratchet for #8.

Here's what the tool looks like (check link), the Husky tool is a little different but does the exact same job. #8 plug...Pull the plug wires off, reach back with your left hand and attach the spark plug socket, then again with your left hand connect the ratchet to the socket, than with your right hand break it free and ratchet it out. Its almost effortless. The rest of the plugs are pretty much easy going. Hopefully the last person to put the plugs in didn't crank the **** out of them, thats the only thing that makes #8 hard to get out.
