Passenger side plugs HELP Please How about that front passenger side plug with the PS L/T's, I can get a standard deep 5/8" socket on it but no room for the ratchet, AIR plumbing is in the way.
Also the second plug from the front on the passenger side is giving me problems as the socket goes on but no room for the ratchet as one of the tubes is in the way.
These headers have the smog hook ups.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Take the rubber out of a 5/8 spark plug socket and use a gearwrench on it. It's still difficult, but works for me everytime. Go in from the top. If you don't already have the alternator out, do so.

I took an angle grinder to a spark plug socket and took about an 1" to 1 1/2" off of it. Then with a 3/4" Ratcheting Wrench (extremely low profile) I can basically get to any of the plugs without even breaking a sweat. Usually plug swaps take about 35-ish minutes, all from the top.

its easy to do what the guy in that ebay auction did, just buy a cheapy spark plug socket from AZ or somewhere then grind off about an inch from the end, drill out the square end for the ratchet an there you go got a header spark plug tool for very cheap,
That number two plug is really hard for me to get also, try the cheap plug tool first then it might be easier
