I use a combination wrench, alternating the open and closed ends when needed. I have to do the back 2 passenger side plugs from beneath.

The engine is coming out in a month because I have AFR's and some other goodies, so I will just wait and use the shorty plug's I guess. Thank's guy's.

I do exactly what rezinn said, plus I use a very short spark plug socket. Cut one down if you can't find a short socket, it helps.

I was thinking of cutting one down when I first started the other day, I still may do that. I must have 10 of those spark plug sockets laying around the garadge anyway.

it may also help getting them off if you just break off the ceramic-like part with a wrench then its easier to get the socket on
