found trick for rear-passenger plug wire
while i pulled the coil pack off to retorque the header bolts, i managed to figure out a trick to easily get the rear passenger plug wire on.
last time it took me nearly 10 min to get it.
plug the wire to the coil pack before you bolt the coil pack down, you and move things around and easily pop the wire on. works real good for the two rear wires actually.
then you can just bolt the coil pack back on.
took me 20seconds instead of 10min
just some info for you guys

Holy crap .. that would work a lot better then sprawling out and using all the might in your wrists to get those damn things on ... I had finally got that last one on using a wrench that was just a hair smaller in diameter than the neck of the plug wire that fit onto the coil pack to give me a bit more leverage .. your way however sounds much easier.

Tire no kidding...i was spread eagle over the engine, using the finger tips of both hands wedged in under the cowl trying and finally getting, it on.
this way is much easier
any of the header install guides don't mention to do it before installing the packs
but mine does now...i added a note

I love my long thin hands and fingers. Remove 1 offending coil pack bolt with stud to prevent punctures in the palm, stand on pass. side, rest right elbow on radiator housing, reach back with left had to coil, use middle and index fingers to gently wiggle and push plug wire onto coil. It takes very little pressure for it to snap on just patience.
