Be safe though. Use jackstands on a hard surface.

Get a set of headers and it will not be as hard.

I did mine from above, with a ratchet and a spark plug socket, and that was while I still had the stock manifolds and A/C.

Re: Changing spark plugs / thinking about suicide

mac sells a nice spark plug puller 3/8 drive with 4 joints its around 40 bucks and ive never found a plug i cant get out.. even on flat 4 engines.. but you shouldnt even need this to get yours out. remember you can always go in and break it with a 5/8 stubby wrench..
