Arrow 95' Grand Am -changing spark plugs

This may sound like a stupid question, but I have looked at a manual from the library and I still have no freaking clue where the heck the plugs are. I think one of the plugs is in view way in the back, but I can't really see any of the other ones and I am not about to just start ripping things off the engine. What do you have to do to get to the plugs? And I don't really know all the names of parts so...

This is a V6 3.1 liter engine in a GT

Matt, I responded to your PM. The plugs are in the back next to the firewall and are hard to get to. PM explains more.

Jack up the front of the car and remove the front tires, look where the steering tie rods enter the car.. There should be a good size hole in the wheel wells where the tie rods go to the rack... if you shine a flash light, you will see the back 3 plugs...

Re: 95' Grand Am -changing spark plugs

Ahh yes twas alot of fun and took a good portion of the day, but I did get it done. I did it the hard way and got up on the engine and reaeched around the back of the engine and did it by feeling where they were. It all went ok, and the engine fires much better now -plus I did it and now the next time will be easier. This dude at the shop I had it at to get the radiator replaced (when it blew a hole in the tank) said he would do it for almost 200 bucks -I say it was well worth the 30 or 40 bucks for the parts and a days worth of stress to not have to shell out those bucks!
