Just did mine...that was rough!!! worst part was gettin the stupid plug wires off! they had been crimped onto the plugs and would not come off. Broke a few tugging on them. O well now I got an excuse to get new wires

I don't know how you people with A/C do it...I have a hard time, and I have no A/C and small hands.

Had to take the coil packs off on the passenger side and took the Air pipe off of the manifold. getting to the plugs wasnt so bad after that. just those damn plug wires were on there so good!

Best thing to do before tugging on them is twist the boot to break it free from the plugs
Had to do this job recently, go with msds. Well worth the money and you can bend the boots away from the header/manifold

Yep, i didn't apprectiate my tiny hands until I had to change plugs and knock sensors on my TA! Until then, I just felt like the tiny hands guy from the Burger King commercial...

yeah just done mine, wasnt fun at all. i finally ended up taking all the coil packs off passenger side to get to the #6 and 8. i tried to get the number 8 from underneath but that wasnt happening, lol. i got my knees on the battery and leaned in the engine bay to get them. my arms and hands were all tore up. went ahead and replaced wires to, cause i didnt want to do that again for a while,lol.

That dam nut on the back of the coil pack was the hardest part for me,, had to have my daughter get if off for me....lol After that is was too easy... lol dam nut got thrown away.... I have the Taylor thundervolt 10.4 wires,, and like them

It's phuucked any way you look at it.
Underneath for the rear two on the passenger side is a definite.
I installed Denso Iridiums with MSD wires for two reasons.
1. They work great.
2. I do not want to change plugs / wires for a looooong time.
