Changing plugs

[Hacker]

Hi,
I'm new to Grand Am's and have never had such a hard time changing spark plugs. I have a 99 GT and I'm having a hard time getting the plug wires off the rear plugs, not to mention changing them. Is there something I'm missing or is it just a pain for everyone.
Thanks

Its a pain for everyone. No easy tricks out there that I know of!

Thanks Flatrater,
I ended up taking off the alternator to get a better view/reach. After a bit of a struggle on each one they popped off.

Next time Try Twisting the boot To the left and then to the right. Once you have them changed, add alittle Die Electric grease to the inside of the boot to prevent further problems in the future.
