Yeah,it may seem odd to drill a hole through the firewall or top cowl {where the hood hinge end of the hood meets the vent cowl}. But, like dog and bsr have stated, there is NO easy way, just a few less drastic ways. Take the inside engine cover off { easiest to take out the floor cupholder first, trust me}, and contort yourself to look inside the engine that is viewable, you'll see the value of drilling a hole or two to get to the suckers. Make sure you have a flex-head socket, with a long handle the better. Don't bother with swivel joint adapters, they'll just flop around in that tight space.

You may want to think of removing the dist. cap and rotor, and get the plug wires out of the way for better clearance. Damn thing is right in the middle of where you have to start reaching into. Not hard to remove, a little contorting will be needed, but two phillips screws is all. Rotor will just slip off, no screws. If you already found some of this out, I'm not belittling, I just don't know what U know. The plugs do seize, partly because they are so hard to pull, they tend to sit in the ports for way past their useful life. If U can, try to WD-40 type lube around the plug ports, be very generous. With a bit of examination, you'll see what we mean about the access holes you need. One other possible is to safely raise the front end so you can under it easy, and try to reach up from underneath. Good luck, try not to get too frustrated.
