I need some help.

I just bought an 87 trans am gta with the 350 TPI and a 700r4 trans. Its a 4 speed automatic, and it runs really rough. The first thing I was going to do was a tune up, oil change, and all that good stuff. The problem is I am having a lot of trouble getting cylinder 6, 8, 5, and 7's spark plugs out. I know the firing order and everything else, they just aren't convenient to get to. I have small hands so i can sorta get to them, but I was wondering if anyone came across a good way to get them out.

I know you can jack up the car and pull the tire and fender well off, but I really want to avoid doing so because I just don't have the materials for it.

Has anyone found any useful tools or have any suggestions?

Thanks, I really wanna get her running.

Re: I need some help.

Yea unfortunately best way Ive found is from underneath. Dont need to pull the wheel or fender well though. Just jack it put set your stands and look up there be easy to spot still unpleasant to do but doable.
