Reaching spark plug on 2002 V6
I have a 2002 XE-V6. It has about 100k miles on it, so I was going to change the spark plugs. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get to the plug all the way in the back against the firewall? I can't get my hand in past the brake lines to get the wire boot off.

spark plug boot puller.
2 2" extensions and a swivel on the ratchet and some good patience

it also helps that your wngine is cool so you don't get burned if you ever need to "lie down" on top of your engine....

Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. The swivel adapter for the ratchet was key. It still wasn't easy, but I got it done.

it's gonna be a female dog to get, some people take off the hood so they can reach it better, I nearly did that, that last spark plug took longer than the other 5 combined.

I got #6 with not much of a prob but Ive been working on #5 now for 3 1/2 hours. Someone please let me know what angle you went in at it. Did you have to remove the intake manifold? I can get the socket over the plug but it wont slide all the way down. PLEASE HELP! Im wasting my saturday.

yeah, using the mirror i did see some dirt. I blew it out already and still nothing. Also tried the shop vac! nothing. does it being supercharged effect your response? Didnt know if yours was. I could actually see # 6 and it only took me about 20 minutes or so. Ive been on this one for HOURS~!!! lots of cussing and punching the garage wall! any help is greatly appreciated. BTW im getting grease all over my companies laptop right now. . . =)

so you can't get the socket to turn the sparkplug? Can you get the socket over the sparkplug? I'm not real sure what the problem is, is figured something was in there that was blocking the socket from going over the plug.
