Spark plug wrench help
Is there a wrench or has someone got pics of what they made to work on the passanger side plugs. The L98 with headers is giving me a pain in the a** getting them in and out.

To get to the front 2 plugs on the passenger side, I unbolted and lifted the center curtain in the wheel well and that allowed me to have a straight shot at the front 2 plugs. I did not remove the center curtain, I just lifted it some. The 3rd plug back isn't too bad, and for the 4th plug back I use a 1/4" drive with an adaptor to get in there. I do not have headers (yet).

I bought a "shortened" spark plug socket off eBay. The socket was cut to about half it's length and the end was drilled out to allow the head of the plug to stick through. I then use a swivel head gear wrench to turn the socket

Well did the cut down socket idea. Went to sears and found a 1/2 in 5/8 socket that was actually cut for the plug nut all the way down. You could cut this thing down to an inch if you needed to. Since I went with the 1/2 drive no need to drill it out plug fit all the way out the back. The guy there was pretty helpful letting me take the rubber boot out of it and try each one till I found the right one. The best 3.99 I spent so far. Hmmm I wonder if this will still have the craftsman warrantee now I cut it down 
. If anyone needs the craftsman part # I can send it to ya. Thanks for the help again.
