Tricks to change rear passenger spark plug I changed 7 of my 8 plugs this weekend. Don't know how to get to that back passenger one.
Are you guys coming in from the bottom or removing parts to get in there?
Either way, its going to be a bitch.

yea, once you get the last coil pack bolt out and pitch it changing plugs on that side is easy. Doesnt take long at all to take the coils off (unless its a 98) and it makes swapping plugs so much easier. You can climb underneath but for me its easier to pull the coil pack then then jack up the car..

As 99T/A said, the extension helps. I also found that if put electrical tape on it so it doesn't flop around, that speeds things up too. For the install, an old spark plug boot or a small piece of 3/8" hose helps tons when starting the threads.
I would also take the valve cover for a little extra clearence and to avoid gettin snagged on the bosses. I can't get in there without them off.
When breaking it loose, removing, and reinstalling I find it easier to also kneel on the battery, put my right arm on the cowl and use me left to do the loosening/tightening.
