Spark Plug Replacement help...
I know this horse has probably been beaten to death few times over, so one more time won't hurt any 
I want to replace my plugs on my 02 Z06. I have a 24-piece ratchet/socket set.
Can somebody provide the metrics of the tools needed to do this? Anything I need to disconnect or move out of the way? Tips, tricks?
I've also heard the plug wires are a bit tricky to pull off from the plugs. Any help on this as well?
Thanks in advance...

There are instructions on changing plugs in the forum "tech tips". Here is the link: Plug change instructions
Supposedly if you twist the plug boot a little then pull it will come loose. Didn't work for me so I used a pair of pliers to grip the metal sleeve around the plug wires, wiggled it a little while pulling. The plug boot came off the plug along with the sleeve.
There were also a few posts in the last week or two about changing plugs. Sorry, I don't have the links to them, but a search might turn them up.
