Is it hard (or possible) to change plug wire without a jack?

I have a 96 Firebird, and to change plugs and wires I had to go from the bottom and the top and it took me 8 hours! Of course, when the wires rip off of the plug boots and you have to fish around to get them off the plugs, what do you expect. Now if i could break my arm about halfway between my elbow and wrist it would have been easy.

oh and with the wires, watch out for those screws that hang down by the coil packs, they'll fu** your hands up.

im sorry i dont see how you guys have a hard time maybe mine is "special", maybe if you guys lived in oklahoma and you bought the wires i would change them for only $15

I don't think I will be able to get my fat hands down there.. I'll pay the $30

cause you have a 3.4

not a 3.8 . My buddies 3.4 Camaro took about 20 mins tops. And we were drinking when we did that one.

I got the wires installed today... the SES light didn't got off though.. I'll have to take it to autozone.

Would my 2000 be easy or not? I have stock manifolds and I was thinking of changing the plugs as a '60k' aniversary gift.

yes, you can pop the hood and see the plugs on a 2000 and up, under that you have to look for them and look and look, follow the wires..... still can't see them.....

hehe

-93-95 3.4L v6s... its easy...(took me about 30 minute)
-95-99 3.8L v6s with the lincoln log exhaust manifold HARD, likely have to change them from under the motor.(never dumb enough to try, and never owned one)
-00-02 3.8L v6s, have tubular manifolds(look like shorty headers) pretty easy...(took me 45 minutes total including putting heat sleeving on the wires and boots)


I believe 99 had lincoln logs and 00+ had tubular.
