you gotta work at it bro...its not easy and i just did it this past saturday. took about 3 hours between customers coming in at the same time.

can you get them started with your fingers? that's the best advice i can give. you might need to get a socket that has an end where you can put a wrench on it since space is limited for a ratchet

My major problem is the first plug on the passanger side the header makes it just seem impossible.

#2 is easy #8 is a three bandaid shot. some have taken the starter lose and moved it to get to that back plug from the bottom.

Remove the Alternator , put some 30W oil on your arm to slide down that narrow passage....lay towels over the Radiator..and lay across towels and engine...lol....stick your arm in there...and work at it....I shattered that plug when I removed it....BUT I got it...remember the Anti Seize...

for the sake of the thread i will add that if u losen the header on the pass side, just enough so the bolts dont come out on ya, its much easier. on mine i also take the starter lose and move it outa the way to get the back two. just done mine in 4 hrs. best time yet.
