Order GMPP red wires and AC-Delco Iridium plugs.
Disconnect AIR hose and remove the two bolts holding it on, then flip out of the way. A normal extension is really all you need. On one plug a universal plug socket helps. Be sure to use aluminum anti-seize on the plug threads, coat both sides of the wire boot with Dielectric grease. Don't worry about the old wires, they will get destroyed coming off and you have new one's to go on. Use channel lock pliers helps remove them. Grab and rotate 90° while pulling. Removing the wires will be the most difficult part. Work only on a dead cold engine. And TORQUE your plugs, 15Nm or 11 lb-ft.

The number 7 plug is the hardest to get to - a swivel really helps.

good timing
picked up my plugs yesterday and am just waiting for the red wires to arrive. hopefully i can find a good deal on a set of headers to install at the same time
