4th spark plug change? Whats the easy way to change the 4th plug, (last plug on passeger side)? I just changed all the others but that one is starting to really get to me. No room at all. I have SLP Long tubes and an A/C. Ive tried to loosen up the coil rail but once again i cant get to that last bolt to theres a hose half an inch away. cant get any tools down there. even tried from under the car. The headers wont let me get my hand in

its impossible to get to them under the car. Or alteast for mine it is. I even had a friend that has thin arms to try it he usually can get into all the tight spaces he had no luck. He could barely get his hand in. I just removed 2 coils and had tons more room to work with. I already got it in thank god!

I was dreading doing the plugs on my car listening to everyone talk about how bad they were. I just kept telling myself how bad it would be...but I got all 8 in in about 1 1/2 hours all from the top without having to take anything off or outta the way. I was surprised. This was on a '00 SS
If they are in there real tight, you're in trouble. You may have to what I did my first time doing them like 8 years ago. Get a socket on it, then have a frien with a long piece of wood or something push the ratchet or smack it with his hand till the spark plug breaks loose.
This is what I use, taking #8 plug out and putting the new one in literally takes 4 minutes.
edit: I'll get you a bteer picture of it.
