the motor mounts will probably have to be loosened or removed so the motor can pivot and you can get ot it better.

you can jack up the engine and reach them from below or you can try and remove the finder well and go from the side that way. ive done both but its easier to go from the bottom and reach around.

i have come to find that removeing the wind gaurd thats around the wipers and below the windshield which is easy with just a few screws and 2 bolts you can easily reach the back 3 spark plugs without to much effort.
