how to replace plugs?

[jet_fumes_junkie]

got 95 3.8 5spd v6, 70k mi. - assuming they were never changed, it's high time, right? looks like pain i/t/a - very confined space. should i spring for ign. wires too?
thanx!!!

Yeah get the wires too. Shouldn't be to much of a pain to get to the plugs, just be glad that you don't have the V8, now that's a pain.

I changed the wires on the 3.8 recently, it is a BITCH! Stupidest set-up i have ever seen... I'm the only one of my friends who needs a jack to change wires. And wait til you encounter those plastic clips.

is it even possible to get to those back plugs on the 8?

The back plugs are tough. The first time i did it, I only changed 5.... The second time it took a loooooooong time to do it. Recently, while changing the oil after about 200-500 miles, I realized it's WAY easier to jack up the car and grab them from underneath. They're totally exposed from down there.... BTW if you think im crazy for changing the oil so soon, before storage I ran a quart of marvel in place of oil, and also fushed the motor prior to the marvel.

I replaced my plug wirers and plugs on my 94 Z28 the plugs were easy on the drivers side but back wire was a b*$#h. the passengers side wirers were not to bad but I had to remove the starter and unbolt the exhaust pipes from both sides to change the plugs. make sure you have plenty of time to do it.
