No just find a socket that fits, you have to jack it up just high enough to be able to get under the car, and of course it would be easier to change em when you have the heads off!! lolOriginally posted by sping012Oh really, how high did u jack it up? and did you need a special tool? I'll have to check that out, but i've definitely heard about going from below on 8.

We couldn't get it from underneath on mine. I don't know how anybody does it from underneath on #8, cause I had heard that too. If you take the coil packs off, #8 is pretty accessable from the top. Just my $0.02, take the coil packs off and do it from the top, and take them off on both sides before you do any of them, will make getting to all of them easier.

Underneath seemed impossible to me lol with headers that is. For the number 8 plug just get your left knee of top of the battery and lean over the engine extending your arm all the way back its not easy but far from impossible you'll get it.Doing less with more

<- did 6 & 8 from underneath (But I had a hoist
)
8 is behind the stock collector which threw me off the first time... I changed the # 6 plug twice on accident lol
remember the anti seize...
And I am running champion coppers at the moment, but my buddy who works for autolite made me some custom plugs that I'm going to try out soon!Last edited by Orange Terror; August 21st, 2006, 09:08 AM.

2 drops on the threads, kinda spread it around... keeps the plug from siezing in the aluminum head

Someone listen to Jeff. Take off the coilpacks and go @ all of them from the top.
