Default plug wires

I friend of mine owns a '96 and needs to change plug wires. It sounds easy, but doesn't look like it is. Any suggestions on how to best do this?
Thanks,
Fred

Take your time, use plenty of dielectric grease to get them to slip on the plug and optispark easily. I have done the passenger side so far on mine. You can get to the optispark on the passenger side. As for the driver side, what has been suggested is to remove the belt and belt tensioner. This way you can get to the optispark to replace the wires. I have not done this yet...waiting for a good weekend to do it.
