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.

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!!Originally Posted by Kevin Lee 487

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

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