changing plug wires 96 T&C 3.8

[dmcollazo]

Looking for the easiest/best way to change plug wires on 96 T & C. The 3 in the back look like they could be a pain the butt. Any suggestions?

If your swaping them out for a new set, don't worry about damaging them, just pull them as straight and hard as you can so as not to crack the plugs. On the other hand, if the wires are bad, the plugs should be replaced too (it's only a couple a buck more).

I always found the easiest to go from under the van. there is room around the exhaust to get the plugs and wires. Replace the plugs if you have not done so.

actually, I was looking for the easiest way to get the plugs out. Gonna go try from under first. Anyone ever try from the top with the cover taken off by the wipers?

I have done that as well when changing the hoses.
I have the rear ac/heat

I was able to get to the right rear plug by removing the top brace on the alternator bracket, which allowed me to get my hand behind the intake manifold. The center & left rear I got from under the van thru the exhaust tunnel. The higher you can get the van up on jack stands the easier it is to get your arm up the tunnel. You will have to use a swivel on the socket to remove & tighten the plugs. You will be working blind, so take your time & make sure you start the plugs by hand so you don't cross thread them.
