Default Help with replacing spark plugs.

Im going to replace my plugs on my 98 GT, but i took a look at it and the left side is burried under tons of stuff. Theres nothing in the way of the right side and the first 2 of the left side look pretty easy, but those last to are burried really deep. What do i need to undo to get to the last 2 plugs on the left side? I know what all the major parts are but i dont know what some of the other parts are like all the hoses and smaller metal parts, so i dont want to mess anything up by just trying it.

Thanks!

ya just make sure you have universal joints and extensions. thats what i used and if hoses are in the way, undo them. label the hoses so you know where they go, good luck

just make sure your engine is ice cold and move stuff if you need to just make sure you put it back the same way

Is it really better for it to be cold? I heard it should be a little warm somewhere...

due to the short thread i always do it when its cold that way there is no chance to strip the threads and the plug doesnt blow out later. Also when replacing use anti-seize on the treads!!! also the electrogel on the tops
