Hi guys!
I've got a 98 and it's new to me. Had it about 4 months. I also have a 86 that I've owned for years. I'm changing the plugs and wires, these look like the origionals, and I would like to know the trick to swap out old number seven? I got the rest, but I can't figure out how to get to number seven. Any help would be appreciated.

You need a spark plug socket with a built in swivel.

...not that it's going to make much difference for this technical question, but you might consider being more descriptive in the title of your next question...
