Spark Plugs

Im in the process of changing my spark plugs, I got 6, but i cant seem to get the 6th and 8th cylinders. I just cant get anything down the passenger side of the motor. Any help is appreciated, on getting these spark plugs removed.
Thanks

I don't know how the hookers are on plug access but with my pacesetters I think i took a sparkplug socket slid it over the plug then got a box wrech to turn it and i could get to them that way

yea, its a strange design with the hooker's, I can hardly feel the plugs with my hand, much less fit a wrench down in there.

Try slipping the spark plug socket over the plug, then get a visual idea of what tool or tool combo you will need whether it be a stubby open end wrench or a small ratchet.

SLP sells a modified spark plug socket that's shorter. I had a friend at a machine shop modify a spark plug socket by making it shorter, cutting a U-shaped grove in the side to allow the top of the spark plug "pass through". I use a Gear Wrench on the hex end of the socket.
