cant get to back spark plugs

[gt271]

alright so i started to change my spark plugs the other day on my 98gt(tori) got the first three done then couldnt for the life of me figure out how to get to the back ones. is there anyone who has done this themself before whom can give me fairly detailed instructiond how to get to the back plugs? thanks

i did mine a while back when i first bought my car, it was a PITA to get my hands back there. I just twisted and turned my hands until I eventually got all three of them out. My arms are pretty big too. It took me about two hours to get the back three out as opposed to the half hour it took me to change the front three. I have heard that you can take the coil packs off to get in there, and/or the alternator. But I wasnt going to go through that trouble... hope this helps...

probably took me 20min to change the first 3 fot the first time.. I'd do it in 5min now:D

Anyway.. to get rear ones I has to get right ontop of the engine underneath the hood so I could see what I was doing.. definatly a PITA...

It helps if you have a ratchet with a swivel joint on it...

take the coil pack off.it is just 2 bolts on top and 2 nuts below.if you sit on top off engine you will see the nuts ok but you may have to push some of the wiring loom out of the way.no need to disconnect the plug leads just move it to one side,this gives enough room to get to plugs using a small plug socket,bar and rachet.no need to take the alternator off.took me about 2 hours to do on the first attempt. good luck !
