changing plugs(N00BEST QUESTION OF EM ALL)
im in the process of changing all of my spark plugs. well i got a few out and have come to a conclusion that this is one hell of a pita. the driver side of the block isnt a problem its the passenger side. does anyone have any tips on changing the plugs. i got big hands and it a pain to get the spark plug socket to the plugs.

Maybe an extension and a swivel. For putting them in, use a piece of rubber hose about a foot long, put it on the plug wire end of the plug...that helps a lot on getting the plug started threaded.
