Spark Plug Installation Help!! I just got my 00 Z28. It has 21k miles on it and I would like to replace the spark plugs. Can you guys give me an idea of what tools are required and how to get to the plugs. The driver side looks fairly easy but the pass side is a different story. It looks like it would be easiest from the bottom with exhaust removed. Is this true? If I do have to remove the exhaust will I need new gaskets? If I do need new gaskets can you give me a part number? I am planning on running the NGK TR 55, those seem to be the popular plug. What gap is most common? No power adders. Thanks for the help.

Most prefer NGK TR-55's (part #3951) gapped around .050

Re: Spark Plug Installation Help!! All you really need are a 3/8" ratchet, some extensions including a swivel and the socket.
As you said, drivers side is easy enough. #8 I get from the bottom by slipping the socket on the plug, then the wrench in the socket. #6 I disconnect the rubber part of the AIR line from the metal and gently bend the metal line out of the way slightly.
