Throw some headers on there and it will only take 20-30 min. for plugs and wires.

Yup with my pacesetters it takes me 15-20mins to do all 6 :p

Exactly. Have you guys ever tried the change the plugs on a Chevy Astro? It is hard. Took me about 4 hours the first time it did it on my girlfriends van. Never want to attempt it again.

Re: Spark Plugs and Wires change ........ ARGHHH

unless there are some kind of invisible wires, how can u route them away from the plug???? ........ my boot was messed up in surrounding heat from the manifold .........

yes, i did lift my car and i was trying to get them from the bottom ............

you angle the boot so that it is pointing away from the manifold

I'm just getting ready to do my 2000 3.8 with original plugs/wires and nearly 80k miles. Problem I'm having is getting the darned boots off the plugs. Worked on 3 of them for about a half hour, twisting and pulling, and only managed to get one loose. Tried to get that one out just to see how it looked, and quickly found out that I don't have enough extensions anyway...

there actually is a tool that exists to pull the boots

Well that would make things easier!

I did take a look around, and seems like alot of the plier-type tools would be nearly worthless with the limited room in our cars. I did find the KDTools puller, which looks to be made of rubber/non-conductive material which is flexible. $3.00 + $4.25 shipping from MyToolStore.com.

Re: Spark Plugs and Wires change ........ ARGHHH

Re: Spark Plugs and Wires change ........ ARGHHH

Amen.
And a cresant wrench on the back end of the plug socket...
Hang in there!
