    Oh man, just jump in there and do it. It's not hard at all. I took out the battery, windshield washer fluid reservoir, and intake box and could reach the plugs just fine. I changed the plugs and fuel filter at the same time, and it was actually harder getting the lines to come off the fuel filter than to change all the plugs.

    It helps to have a "Spark Plug" ratchet set I found at Pep Boys. It has different angled ratches useful for getting in there. I had a problem with backing regular ratchet out into the frame and getting it stuck. JUst becareful not to cross thread the plug or put them in crooked... I believe there were pics awhile back posted of someone who's buddies fucked up their plugs and burnt the car down

    well i got them out (wasn't hard at all, just a lil tight here and there) last nite took me a min since i didn't have the rite tools. I am gonna go buy the Spark Plug ratchet just to make sure they go in straight.

    Instead of using Spark Plug ratchet to intially screw in the plug, I did this.....
    Got a Small piece of hose to fit on terminal side of the plug, that left me about 1"-2" of hose sticking out that i used to perfectly screw the plug in. Once the plug was in, i simply pulled the hose out and did the same to other. Saved me good bit of time and made the process lot easier.

    How's that? I never had trouble with that...

    I've seen lots of ppl do this. I prefer to have them out of the way entirely so I unclip them.
