i cannot get the last spark on the passenger side out!!! it seems impossible to get at. both up top and underneath. what has anyone else done?? help!! lol

 

What I do is I unbolt the pipe from the manifold to the check valve and move it out of the way....then I just force my arm down there to get to the plug, but I do have small arms. You can also take the coil packs off that side. Just make sure to disconnect your battery first. To put the new plug in, I get about a 4" piece of 5/8" fuel line to put on the plug. That helps out a lot.

haha! i conquered the b@st@rd! this is a very useful technique for your future attempts. go underneath (at least i did) slide the sparkplug socket on, the put a deepwell 3/8 drive 3/4" socket on a 3/8 ratchet (i used a 12" long flex head)and from up top put the socket over the sparkplug socket (they have a 3/4" hex on the end of them usually for a wrench) and turn away it clears the manifold for a good swing but is short enough to fit inside the body. the only thing i had to remove was the A.I.R. tube (two 10mm bolts from exhaust manifold and a plastic clip on other end) BTW i had one person underneath and myself above to guid things along as smothly as possible but not sure that its a neccessity

 

Rookie!!!

#8 is almost entirely done from underneath --- 1 person job!

You (obviously) have to get all the plug wires from up top (where they connect to the coils) EXCEPT #8 ... you access that plug from underneath. The ONLY "problem" I've found with that is that I have to use my LEFT arm ... actually, a lot of the work on the passenger's side requires using my left, vs. normally I would work with my right arm .

But you got it done ... good job .

 

Don't know how on earth you reach 8 from below. I can't even begin to get my arm up thru to reach the plug.

 

I do them all from the top, used this method: http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...sity/index.htm
Only thing not stated in the write up is that i used a universal joint style extension, especially on the #8 plug. Can get them done in about 1.5 hours this way, but i've done it about 4 times though

 

Well, like I said, I'm using my "wrong" arm (left vs. right ....... at least, I'm pretty sure I can't reach up there with my right arm!? ... I think the angle ends up being all wrong that way???) which makes it a little awkward, and I don't exactly have "body builder arms", so maybe a bigger guy would have more trouble?!

FWIW, I've done it the same way with both the factory exhaust, AND with LT headers.

 

And I've tried it with factory exhaust and longtubes and with my left arm, won't fit.

 

Me neither...especially if one still has the stock exhaust
