Answer

a garage to get plugs replaced, and they said that it is very difficult and wanted to charge me $300.00 Dollars. All I ended up doing was removing that top Pillum. Now this is tricky because you cant reach the bolt on the drivers side to remove it, unless you take the air conditing stuff off. But i welded a bolt to my wrench and was able to get the bolt off. It saved me alot of time.
Answer


The Most common way to get the rear 3 plugs is to release the (dog bone)front motor mounts and just roll the car foward and the engine will tilt foward about 6 inches and makes it a lil easier to get the plugs. you can do as the above person said about the dog bone but i just use the size rachet needed with a extender to unlosen the spark plugs then i use a small rubber hose and stick it down around the plug and twist it a little then slowly pull it up and remove it.

 

You may have to cut your loss and get new wires too and just cut the old wires off to get to the plugs
