Add LTs and remove the EVAP core and its a piece of cake.

ok, I did mine from underneath, I did it without unhooking the y pipe but if you do unhook it its much easier to get up in there.

Re: How the hell do you get plug #8 out?

I had to lay across the top of the car with my feet to the driver's fender and my stomach on the intake manifold. Not too hard... but then again my arms were just the right size to fit between the manifolds and the side of the car. #2 was the toughest since I dont remove anything to do the plugs and wires.

I get the #8 and #6 plugs easily from the bottom and plugs #2 and #4 from the top.

#2 is ok if you bend the egr pipe out of the way, but its much easier with LT's, i get #8 from the bottom , and 6 from the top, with pace LT's all from the top with a short plug scocket and a 3/4 racheting wrench.

From the bottom. Remove the starter. Having 2 sets of hands really helps a lot for #8. All the others are cake.

I can't believe people have such a hard time with #2 plug That one took me no more than 5 minutes.

Yes, the number 2 plug is very evil, and even with headers, it is still evil.

Re: How the hell do you get plug #8 out?

I duno why its soo hard, I can get all of them out easily w/out removing anything. I have even screwed a rubber hose that was a foot long into each one before w/ out removing anything. Now thats skill cuz twisting a rubber hose in zero space is pretty damn hard.
