Default Spark plug help please

Alright I got five of them and the sixth I know i can get all i have to do is take off the alternator. But the third back on each side are crazy hard. on the drivers side i cant even get the boot off it is against the header. those jba headers suck. i cant even get to the one on the passenger side.
any ideas???

thanks
cody

Try harder, be patient. Its hard but stick to it, you'll get it. You might look into that short plug socket that SLP makes.

yes, get better headers! LOL
Plug changes takes about 45 minutes with Hookers, and they perform 1000% better than shorties
