yea my hands look like i boxed a cat or something. All chewed up but 2 hours later i was done. Spent an hour almost trying to get the back bolt off the coil back rack, finally got that off and from there it was a breeze. Once you take that off getting number 8 from the engine bay is a snap. I found the best set up to be a spark plug socket, pivoting head rachet, 3" extension (not always used), and a socket that fits the end of the spark plug socket. Just break the plugs loose screw them out take the new plug and the socket only hand tighten it back in then put the socket that fits that end back over the spark plug socket and give it a 1/4 turn. Nice and simple. I only put the 2 bolts back in on the coil pack rack so now it should only take me 30-45 mins to swap out plugs at most
