plugs removal

Hi,
I have a 1997 z28, m6
Is it possible to change the plugs myself without raising the engine or doing some crazy parts removal...is it possible working around the parts?

I did mine last night in about an hour...HOWEVER, you should be familiar with these cars, and it can be very tight. Get a modified spark plug socket. (check ebay). Even with that, i jack the car up to get to #5 and #7 from underneath, but i have headers. You should be able to do it if you have basic automotive skills.

Any questions, feel free to email me at Thirdgen327@aol.com

Yes, it is very possible. I did mine without removing anything. It does take a good bit of patience though.
