remove the coils, and for the number 8 plug, a 1/2" socket wrench with a 1/2"-3/8" adapter to a 3/8" drive sparkplug socket works the best, it works well on the other plugs as well, youll thank me for that one

if by left side you mean driver then take out the drive shaft, will give you more space and use the above mention wrenches.

dude all you have to do is remove the bolt that holds the middle piece to the top piece and it slides right out of the way, it's only one bolt that you have to take out. normally you don't need to do this but since he is complaining about the space i said that
o crap i meant the steering colum not the drive shaft o man i must be smoking crack or something, please forgive my crakhead self lol i meant the steering shaft, o man not the drive shaft o man thats some good crack iam smoking
