If you cannot reach them by removing the air intake snorkel / air filter assembly, jack up the car and go at them from underneath the chassis with a loooong 3/8" drive extension and u-joint ratchet set.

I know it can be a pain.

I was attempting to replace my ignition coil and come to find out the replacement was wrong, so I put the old one back in because it worked, just not well, and for some reason it did not wanna work at all, I believe I have gotten a couple wires mixed up, but I cannot remember the order to fix it properly. As well, once I did get it to turn over, I can only hear 4 cyl's running and it was burning rich.
