I have begun to change the spark plugs on my 1996 chrysler town and country. It has the 3.8 six cylinder with auto transmission. I was able to change the front three no problem however, I found that I needed to take off a whole bunch of body parts to get to the back three. Even after removing all of the stuff in the way, there still isn't any room the get to them. After a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears I finally was able to get the far left one out and put in the new one. I then moved over to the middle back plug and found it near impossible to get out, but after a few hours it was out also. Now I am not able to get the new plug to start threading into the whole. I've tried all the old tricks. It just doesn't seam to want to start. I checked the old plug to see if it had evidence of crossthreading, but it looked ok. I even tried a different plug, but still no go. I've also tried accesing it from below, but that's impossible also. If I'm not able to get the plug back in, I'm looking at a tow bill and a hefty service charge I'm sure. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can give me.
