is it damn near impossible to remove the # 2, 4 and 6 plugs on an L98?

I can barely fit my hand in to touch them, let alone fit a socket in there to remove them. I even tried saying screw it and removing them from the top instead of underneath like all # 1,3,5 and 7 plugs on the driver side. I'm really sweating this because all 5 of the plugs I was able to remove looked in pretty rough shape. ( The #7 & 8 plug wires were so tight that I had to twist the boot to remove the plug from the engine and then pull the boot off afterward )

I also don't want to just waste 3 AC/Delco plugs or damage the damn $90 MSD wires I got ( curse you stock exhaust manifold requiring a long boot )

I don't know if the Camaro is any different, but this seems like I'm missing something simple.

 

No it is a big pain! Find a real skinny person that is strong with long arms to help you. haha

 

I've employed the help of my 5'4'' friend who probably weighs like 110lbs.

Me being 6'1''-2'' ish and 180lbs is obviously too big lmao.

Thanks for the tip.

 

A baboon? But the answer to your subject line question....????

 

those are easily removed from the bottom

 

I feel your pain. Only 5'10" but 215lbs so its not easy for me either.

I modified a socket to make the task easier. Or you can buy one already made for you.

its best to remove plugs on these cars from the bottom.i use a wrench /plug socket combo, go slow and use antisieze.and if you think you hate doing it now,thank god you dont have headers!!

 

+1

I bought one of these to use with my headers. Makes life a lot easier.

 

^agreed. I modified my own and it made worlds of difference

 

their all easy on my trucks TPI motor with Hooker headers

 

 

i had prolems on my camaro so i decided that was a great time to put the headers i had in the basement on .lol

 

Headers make it ten times easier. They do on my TPI 350 anyway. I could do plugs in thirty mins with a beer.

 

i agree i have one thats still a bitch but after i delete the ac box that will be taken care of to
