My favorite plug! I usually put the socket on first and then I connect an extension and a ratchet and I get it from the top.

I just changed mine this week. What I did was use the socket with a universal and went in from the top. I also removed the altenator to give me some more room.

Use the special made F-body spark plug socket and a ratchet wrench form the top. Altenator off helps too.
