Hey, just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get off the middle driver side plug wire. I've got no room to get any leverage on the plug with the O2 sensor being in the way. You don't have to take the O2 or the exhaust manifold off do you? Help!!!

Oh and side note, these are MUCH harder to do than a 5.7L. I spent 45 min on plug #3 already, and I can do all 8 on my Z in the same amount of time.

 

Well first off don't feel bad, mechanics complain this engine to be the second worse to change the plugs. and as far as the plugs go..."WOW You've got to number THREE?! I can only reach plug #1!". Yes, they're definately harder than even my dad's LT1 because the engine is crammed so deep. My best advice is sadly... take it to a mechanic.

Sorry if this doesn't help but I couldn't even touch the plugs.
Good luck to ya man!
