:banghead: I changed my spark pugs and wires 3 years ago and I cant remeber how I did it. I dont remember it being this hard.
97 SOHC V6 I got the driver side no prob except for the front one was a little hard because of the metal tube in the way coming up from the exhaust manifold.
On the passenger side I will prob do tommorow.
The front one will be med difficulty, the middle one will be really tough and the back one looks imposible. I think I will have to get the back one from under the truck.
Any suggestions would be great

Access your spark plugs through the wheel wells. You will have to remove the rubber skirt inside the wheel wells, be careful not to rip it around the holes that the push retainers go through. I also had to remove my passenger side tire to reach the rear 2 on the passanger side. If you jack it up from the center the wheel may drop enough to allow you access.

You may also need a swivel adapater to get the rear one out.

It sounds like a pain but I changed all 6 of mine in about an hour, including the 30 minutes spent removing the tire.
