need proper tools

need proper tools to make changing my spark plugs go as smooth as possible...

what tools do you use that best helps you reach the hard to reach plugs?

I'm thinking a helper monkey with titanium ratchets would be your best bet. Failing that, every kind of ratchet extention and elbow you find will be helpful. You're going to need tools that can fit in and around some tight places, so a pivoting arm is good to have. I'm going to do do my plugs pretty soon, and I know I'm going to be littering the driveway with Craftsman before the job is done. A boot puller might also be a good idea, if any of your wires get stuck. The dielectric grease is critical for installs, and you'll also need at least one friend. If you don't have a friend, either meet someone or begin to clone yourself now, you'll really really appreciate the help. Also, having either car ramps or a set of jack stands is good, because some of the plugs are easier to be done from underneath.

The two front plugs can be reached from the top.. a 3" extension if anything. The rear two are easily reached from underneath. The driver side center plug is a bit tricky but can be done from underneath. Slip a sparkplug socket over the plug and use a 3/4" wrench to turn the socket. One of those Craftsman ratcheting wrenches will do the trick nicely. For the passenger side center, I found it easiest to put the socket on from underneath, then attach a 3" or 6" extension (can't remember which). Then go around to the top and attach your ratchet. Sometimes a 1" universal joint helps here.
