you might try removing the engine brackets as suggested here:

unless they are obviously screwed up, don't re-gap the plugs. You can do more damage misaligning the electrodes while re-gapping than correcting a couple thousandths off on the gap would help. As far as the rear plugs, put a jack under the trans pan (with a board to spread the load) and take out the two "dog bone" upper mounts. Jack teh trans up to tilt the engine forward, and the plugs are easy to get to.

i find that if you remove the dog bones and roll the car a lil foward and set the ebrake you can get to them easy as PIE
