RE: I gave up....
Spartan, you have to do most plugs by feel on our cars...that's just the way it works. You need to use the spark plug socket, it has special padding so you don't damage the end of the plug with a normal deep-wall socket. Invest in a spark-plug ratchet, you will not regret that purchase, my spark-plug ratchet is one of the most useful tools in my tool box.

ok im gonna look at it in my auto shop today. But when i bought the car i didnt figure on it costing 200 bucks to change out the plugs, thats what motivated me to do it myself...

Spartan, a few of those plugs are impossible to get off with a ratchet. I have a spark plug socket that has a 6-sided hex on the end. For the tight ones where the ratchet won't clear, you can put a box or open end wrench on the socket and crank 'er off that way.
