how the hell are u supposed to change the spark plugs?

when under the car i can only see 1 of them, i can see the wires fine, and from on top i cant see any of em

what is the easiest way to replace them?

 

Here's the best method (without Y-pipe removal) found so far:

Watch out for O2 sensor

Socket w/ Open End
AC & Exhaust AIR Tubes make it NASTY

Completely blind on this one

Skinny arms are a MUST


NOTES:

Be sure to replace the heat shield covers on plugs 6, 7, and 8.
If you're changing the wires, be sure to route the #7 wire through the factory heat shield that runs between the exhaust manifold and the block. If it makes contact with the manifold, it's going to burn right through.
Use anti-seize compound on new plugs. The factory didn't which made removal that much more difficult.
You may want to do the easiest plugs first, (saving #2 for last) to give yourself a sense of accomplishment and to boost your self-confidence.

 

Well, it is a different story with long tube headers like my Edelbrok's. I don't know how you reached #2 with A/C compressor blocking the veiw.

The right bank was easier though. The left bank, made me unbolt the left header but that was needed anyway since I was replacing a leaking gasket.

 

better to do from above?
