This doesn't tell me how to access them though. Can I just cut the old wires and take them off and then change the plugs and rewire with new spark plug wires on top of the upper intake? I don't want to mess wit taking it off.

Yep, you can cut the wires if you have new ones just make sure you do them one at a time so you don't get them mixed up.

Hello again.

Here is a tutorial showing how to replace intake manifold gaskets:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/replace-intake-manifold-gasket

I've attached picture steps below on how to remove and replace the intake manifold gasket in case you want to perform this to replace the spark plug wires and spark plugs on your vehicle. I've also attached a picture below of a spark plug wire set from AutoZone auto parts stores. If you want to replace the spark plug wires without removing the intake and want to route the wires above in a non-stock location then you might want to consider buying a universal spark plug wire set to be longer in length to accomplish this. If that is your plan then just be sure to use nylon zip ties to secure the wire to be free of heat, rubbing, pinching, or any other damage. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
