Just curious Spartan, what year is yours? I'm beginning to worry about the fact thatthe plugs in my '02were TOO easy to get to. I'll have to get a couple of photos of the engine bay and see if someone else with an '02 can compare them.

Not the easiest job little buddy and I know where you're coming from. The last time I changed my plugs I bought a 12 pack of Bud and put on some tunes and by the time I got done I was sh$t faced and I had heard the same cd's about 3-4 times. But I GOTERDUN!!

Yeah... i already took one of my dads beer (my family is in orlando and im here in washington) but if i took more im sure hed notice there are only6 instead of 8... But i threw on some CCR, some Garth Brooks and someJohnny Cash... ionly had tire jacks so i was constanly raising and lowering and moving stuff around... but i found out my tool box has a sweet spark plug 5/8 socket. But its impossible to get thewratchet in the sock unless im holding them in my hand.. i couldnt just fit the plug into the hole put the socket over it and then the wratchet over that... otherwise id have 4 done...

I think I heard Metalica twice and the best of Pantera twice and a couple others at least once. I actually used a racheting wrench to get the ones on the passenger side off. No room for a socket with the headers. But if you're going to own the LT1 then you'd better learn to fix it!

plus i only have a standard set of tools, nothing fancy like a swivel thing. I do have a wratcheting screw driver but im sure that would be too big.
