whats the best way

what is the best way to change the spark plugs on the passenger side? because it is very hard to get to them with all the smog stuff there. would it be easier to go under the car or ? any advice would help thanks. and is there any way to cut down on the smoke at start up because the valve guides are bad.thanks

well i had my car in the air b/c i was changing my brakes and rotor and from the bottom it looks like i can get to the back and i can get to the front ones from the top. i dont see why they cram every thing right there. i guess just to **** people off that have big hands so they cant get to it.

When I had manifolds I did too. The hooker headers make it tricky to do a few of them, I just swear until they come out.

Go on Ebay and buy one of those modified sockets to accept spark plugs with an open wrench. When *** works on his car he uses this tool. You can get around every primary tube without a problem. I still got them from undernieth but it was sooooo easy with this tool. You could also make your own.
