No.
Get to some from the top, others from the bottom. Make sure you have a good wrench, and an extra jar of swears. :D With the stock manifolds, it's not an easy job.Matt

I'm just joking. Just take your time with it and make sure not to crossthread any of them, or force anything. I want headers so that this will be easy..

Hello,
I assume you have a 3.4L I did mine in my 95 firebird - it was not bad as everyone said it was - but by no means easy... ! - I do have a fair experence in working on cars though... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Here is the key:
1. Go get an old plug wire and cut off the end that goes on the spark plug - this works perfect to getting the plugs started (to avoid cross threading.
2. Get a good universal joint (3/8") and a spark plug socket and some extensions (you will need different sizes to get to the different ones).
3. Get all the plugs from the top - using the u joint (do not use it if you do not have to - you do run the risk of breaking the plug).
4. Start with the drivers side - it is much easier - I would suggest if this is not do-able - take it somewhere - because the pass side is much harder...
5. when you get the plugs out - run a compression test (if you have the gauge - it will serve as a good baseline if something goes wrong in the future).
6. To put the new plugs in put the plug on the boot you cut off of an old plug wire - use this to get into the hard to reach areas (like the passenger side) - the plug should go in easy until it seats - if it does not you my be cross threading - try again...
NOTE: I only used about 1/2 a box of curses... - not sure of the conversion from box to jar though...
The key it take your time and do not get in over your head - think of one plug at a time not the entire job.
