changing spark plugs on LB9

Any tricks to get to those plugs? I need to change mine and I want to go through as little hassle as possible. Looks like any way I change them its going to be hard.
thanks

The only plug I have a problem with is the rear passenger side. It seems to be easiest to go from under neath. All the others are best from up top.

Now I have headers and the plug is really difficult to remove!

I change all mine from underneath... kind of dirty, but at least I can see everything I'm doing. Will be a different story I'm sure when I get headers.

I think I was able to get 1-3-5 out from the top and rest out from the bottom. Not fun if you are doing it the first time. I spent almost 8 hours changing plugs and installing custom fit wires.
