The DS is easy....spark plug socket. The front one on the Pass side is ok, but the next two suck. My set up is like this. Socket-extention-swiveljoint-wrentch.....the last one may require a couple of extensions.....got to say that EGR has been a huge PITA...not only is it in the way of the plugs, it also has been a pain to fix (long story, don't ask)

Practice makes perfect First time around I had a few cursing sessions and beaten up knuckles. After that it only gets easier.

Just be sure to put plenty of di-electric grease in the boot and antiseize around the plug threads to make for easy removal w/ the next change.
