Darn that drivers side rear spark plug is a bear!!!
After reading that might be difficult to reach for a wire\plug change, I decided to start with that one - get the worst done first, right?
Well, I'm finished with the whole set of wires\plugs, but it will take a week for the scrapes on my hands to heal. Right off the bat the wire separated from the boot, and with the brake booster and other crapola cramping that spot it took me 20 minutes to just remove the old factory plug boot.
Anyways, I'm done. Thank goodness it will be another 25k miles before I go thru this again! I imagine it is more difficult with headers...Is it?

Next time, try removing the AIR tube and the vacuum booster hose and push them up and out of the way. Also, always rotate the boot on the plug before pulling on it. A couple extensions and a u-joint will help too. Chris.

I use 1/4 drive extentions and swivel with a adapter on spark plug socket, you loose a little leverage , but you save your knuckles. As for those stock wires i thought i was going to have to use a chain hoist or something but once they **** you off they come out real easy. Taylors were purchased that day.
