Re: plugs and wires
Yea, unfortunately, there is no easy way. The best way to get to them is from under the car...and you still need various extentions, patience, and strong nuckles.

Re: plugs and wires
if it doesnt work, try something else..i almost had a plug STUCK in there cuz i almost broke the whole thing off when i tried to force it.. i ended up with a crumpled ceramic outside and most of the nut stripped before it came off..

Re: plugs and wires
A ratchet that has a built in swivel makes those a lot easier to deal with. its all about the angle of the dangle.

Re: plugs and wires
My plugs were always done with a variety of tools, a ratchet and plug socket for the straight shots, a plug socket and combo wrench for the tight spots, and double off set wrench for the impossible spots.
Behold the joys of owning a f-body  When you put the new plugs in I have but one word: anti-sieze
