if you had access to a lift would be nice. if you can pull it up on two sets of car ramps, then you can get under it and almost set-up behind the motor and gain access to the rear sparkplugs. please be very carefull, wearing a minivan for an overcoat is not my idea of a fun day. also go to a parts store and get a sparkplug boot remover or you will messup the wires. as always safety is first....vandragon

Suggested Repair

Raise the van on a lift or two sets of ramps and work from underneath behind the engine to reach the rear spark plugs. Use a spark plug boot remover so the wires are not damaged, and follow normal under-vehicle safety precautions.
