Well, I completed the spark plug job today. What a PITA.
Back side driver and middle got from below with" relative" ease with a small 3/8" ratchet and a short extension. Vehicle was jacked up and on short stands to give me working room.
Passenger side rear required the removal of the top bracket plate on the alternator bracket and swinging the alternator to the rear of the vehicle. Even with this it was the hardest of the three, done completely by feel.
Front three then became a vacation by comparison.
Total job took about 2.5 hours, including the process of putting it on stands and then letting it down.
I remember changing the plugs on my '67 Malibu 283 in less than fifteen minutes one time.
