Default spark plug install question

I was feeling insdustrious this morning so i decided to install my new spark plugs. it only took about 40 minutes to install the 4 on the drivers side so i was feeling good. then i moved to the passenger side and changed the first one with miminal problems and was not even able to get to the second one. i have read that it is easier if you move or losed the coil packs but im not that far yet, my problem is the thingy on on the manifold, right under the oil cap, and it related hoses, i can not get my arm under the hoses at any angle. i had to stop as it being Sunday and i would have felt bad cusing on Sunday. what i was wondering was what is this and if i take it off will stuff come out or will i be able to just put it out of the way for a while? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I think your talking about the air tubes. Remove them before you start. remove the 2 10mm bolts that holds it on, careful not to lose the gasket, then remove the plastic clamp and take the hose out. I usualy just remove the pass. side coil packs. It takes me about 40-45 min. to do a plug change. Hope this helps.
